Keep your tires properly inflated. Failure to maintain

the correct pressure may result in tire failure and

loss of control, which may result in serious injury or

death or property damage.

therefore, that you always
maintain correct air pres-
sure as indicated by the
tire manufacturer on the
tire’s sidewalls. Always check the air pressure when the tires are
cold. Tires heat up and the air pressure increases after traveling
short distances. Inflate tires to the proper air pressure as noted on
the sidewall of the tires.

When your trailer tires become worn or damaged, replace them

with new tires. Your MasterCraft dealer can help you.

For safety and convenience, it is recommended that you always

carry a spare wheel and tire.

Brakes

In most states, trailers with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)

of 1,500 pounds or more are required by law to have brakes on all wheels.
(Auto manufacturers generally recommend brakes even with lighter trailers.)
