WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
1. Before towing this trailer, be sure to read and familiarize your-
self with this manual. (Page 7)
2: The total weight of your boat, engine, fuel, water and gear
must not exceed the trailer’s maximum load-carrying capacity.
Overloading can cause serious injury or property damage.
Note: Maximum load-carrying capacity is the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rate (“GVWR”) less the weight of the empty trailer.
(Page 8)
3: Trying to tow with water-filled bladder(s) may not only cause
the total weight limits for the trailer to be exceeded but may
also result in the improper distribution of the weight on the
trailer thereby making towing difficult and/or causing instability
when towing, which can be very dangerous to you and to other
motorists. You should NEVER tow with water in the ballast
bladders or tanks! (Page 8)
4: Serious injury or death or property damage can result if the
total weight on your loaded trailer exceeds the capacity of the
hitch on your tow vehicle. (Page 11)
5: Failure to properly attach the safety cables and brake actuator
breakaway cable between your trailer and the tow vehicle can
result in a run-away trailer if the trailer coupler becomes de-
tached from the hitch, which may cause serious injury or death
or property damage. (Page 11)
6: Failure to properly engage the hitch ball in the coupler ball
socket and to securely lock the coupler latch mechanism can
cause the trailer to become detached from the tow vehicle while
traveling, which may cause serious injury or death or property
damage. (Page 13)
