MISC. INFORMATION
PROPER TRAILER LIFTING PROCESS:
Make sure that the trailer is
properly blocked or the brakes are
applied to prevent the trailer from
moving while the trailer is being
jacked up. A Torflex
® Axle should
have the lifting jack of proper
capacity placed under the axle
mounting bracket when lifting the
trailer. A Sprung Axle should have
the lifting jack of proper capacity
placed as close to the axles hangers
on the main frame when lifting the
trailer. Lift unit only high enough to
do the work required. When
working under a trailer, make sure
that the trailer is supported
properly by using proper capacity
jack stands. CAUTION: Failure to
comply may result in serious injury
or death. CAUTION: Be sure to
wear safety glasses. Failure to
comply may result in serious injury.
RAMP DOOR CAPACITY: Two
weight ratings (capacities) have
been established for standard ramp
doors. Ratings do not apply to special
built ramp doors or front ramp
doors on “V-Front” trailers. Note:
Corner Post Jacks should be in the
down position when loading and
unloading. See illustration below.

WINTERIZING PLUMBING (con’t):
dipped into a gallon of RV Non-Toxic
antifreeze. The other three valves
are located right at the water
heater and make it possible to
leave the water heater full of air,
while the hot and cold lines are
filled with RV Non-Toxic antifreeze.
Shut off the valve that fills the
water heater with cold water. (See
4 ) Shut off the valve that is located
on the hot water line off the water
heater (See 5 ) Open the valve
that joins the hot water lines and
the cold water lines (See 6 ) This
allows you to bypass the water
heater and still fill both the hot and
cold water lines. NOW YOU ARE
READY. Slip the dip tube into a
gallon of RV Non-Toxic antifreeze,
with the valve open (See 3 ), and
turn on the water pump. Open one
faucet or toilet at a time until you
see RV Non-Toxic antifreeze. When
finished, the lines are full. Be sure
to flush enough RV Non-Toxic
antifreeze into the sinks so that the
traps are protected as well.
SPECIALIZED PLUMBING: If you have
a trailer with a specialized plumbing
application, unlike the one shown
on the previous page, these types
of plumbing systems will need to be
drained and winterized properly as well.
