Product Usage Instructions
Step 1:
Sort all loose components and ensure they match the items and quantities shown in the provided images.
Step 2:
Turn the trailer body upside-down and place it on an empty shipping container. Position the axle assembly inside the trailer’s support beams, ensuring the brake levers are towards the rear. Secure the axle assembly using 17mm bolts, flat washers, and locknuts.
Step 3:
Mount the tongue to the outside of the support beam closest to the front of the trailer using tongue brackets, 17mm bolts, lock washers, and locknuts. Set the cable adjusters on the tongue and axle mount to their minimum setting. Confirm that the emergencybrake is not engaged and the foot pedal is in the rear position facing the trailer body.
Step 4:
Use the cable clamps to loop the brake cable around the brake lever arms on
the left and right axle. Pull the cable tight by hand and tighten the cable
clamps. Make any necessary adjustments to the cable adjustors at both axles.
Test the emergency brake and foot
pedal by spinning both brake drums on the axle.
Step 5:
Insert the spring into the dump lever and mount the lever to the tongue using the provided hardware. Test that the dump lever releases the trailer body. If necessary, use the slotted holes in the tongue assembly to make adjustments. Install the seat bracket on the tongue and then install the seat onto the seat bracket.
Step 6:
Ensure the tires are inflated to a maximum of 20 psi. Install the wheels by adding the dust cap, sliding the wheel onto the wheel studs, and securing it with four 12mm wheel nuts. Tighten the wheel nuts to 60 ft-lbs.
Step 7:
Install the appropriate curved coupler. Ensure that the nylock nut is completely threaded but not completely tightened to allow the trailer to maintain stability on uneven ground.
