Since the trailer “ride” can be bumpy and rough, you must secure your cargo so
that it does not shift while the trailer is being towed.
4. Return the ramp(s) to their stowed position(s), and secure them so that they will
not move during transit.
WARNING
Shifting cargo can result in loss of control of the trailer, and can
lead to death or serious injury.
Tie down all loads with proper sized fasteners, ropes, straps, etc.
WARNING
Load can suddenly move or topple, which can result in death or
serious injury.
Do not load or unload your open trailer unless it is prevented
from tipping and is on firm and level ground.
WARNING
Before loading Trailer, Trailer must be properly connected to the
Tow Vehicle. This stabilizes the Trailer. Failure to follow this
warning could result in property damage, personal injury and
death.
WARNING
Do NOT use the Gates for tie-down locations. All articles being
towed must be tied to the side walls of the Trailer. Gates can
dislodge causing property damage and possible injury or death to
other motorists and pedestrians.
WARNING
Do not transport people in the trailer. Failure to heed this warn-
ing could result in serious injury such as broken bones, brain
damage, paralysis or death.
