Kendon Stand-Up Trailer - Manual (Page 9)

A. Front Tie-Down Procedure. In the tree or fork area of your bike
attach two ratchet tie-downs to the most forward tie-down area on
the trailer(outrigger). Tighten the ratchet tie-downs so that the front
suspension of the motorcycle is compressed to at least 75% of total
travel. This is critical to ensuring the motorcycle remains stable on
the trailer. The Compression of the front suspension of your motor-
cycle should result in very little additional compression being pos-
sible. As the trailer is towed, the motorcycle should not further
compress its suspension on account of its own weight. Otherwise,
Tie-Down hooks could become disengaged, resulting in the motor-
cycle becoming unattached.
B. Rear Tie-Down Procedure. From a frame attachment point on
the motorcycle (e.g., the rear swing-arm or suspension area) attach
two tie-downs forward to mid-tie-down area (forward of the trailer
axle location).These locations provide the stabilization and triangu-
lation needed to secure the bike. The critical factor in securing the
rear section of the motorcycle to the trailer is that the rear tire on
the motorcycle locks the rear section of the trailer in place. This
results because the rear motorcycle tire is pressing down on the
rear folding section of the trailer, but the tie-down straps are
secured to the trailer IN FRONT of the trailer axle.
See enclosed tie-down location chart (pg. 14 )
Always use Kendon locking ratchet tie-down straps. They are of
exceptional quality, and are designed for our trailers. There are
many other tie-down strap manufacturers in the marketplace, but
we do not believe you should compromise the integrity of your
security system. These items can be acquired directly from
Kendon by phoning our order desk at: (800) 847-8618.
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the motorcycle(s) are
properly secured to the trailer for transport. Because of the variety
of terrain and variable factors involved, the user must use common
sense when securing the load. Again, if you have ANY doubts,
please call Kendon for advice.
6. NEVER ride your motorcycle(s) onto the trailer under power. We
recommend staying on the ground while loading the bikes. If this
cannot be accomplished safely alone, we suggest you seek help
from another individual. Walk your motorcycle onto the trailer.
7. Our Kendon "Wheel Chocks" can enable a single person to load
7
it must be removed before attempting to stand your trailer up for
storage.
2. Once the trailer is empty, fold the back half of the trailer up and
forward towards the tongue.
3. Once the trailer is folded in half, secure it using the rubber latch.
4. Disconnect the trailer from vehicle & roll it by tongue to its stor-
age location with weight on the street tires not the casters. Lift
properly and safely to avoid injury.
5. Final storage area must be smooth and level. A good example
would be a concrete floor in a garage. Double check to ensure the
back half of the trailer is secure using the rubber latch. Lift the
tongue of the trailer upward and the rear of the trailer will rotate
from the street tires onto the casters. Once the trailer is on the cast-
ers it may be slowly rolled to its final storage area. Again, the sur-
face must be smooth and flat with no slope. Failure to follow this
instruction could cause the trailer to fall, and cause injury, death, or
property damage.
6. We recommend securing the trailer to the wall at its final storage
location. This can be accomplished by securing the safety chain to
an eye-bolt in the wall that would support the falling weight of the
trailer. The user must use common sense.
7. Remember, should you have any questions, please call your
local Stand-Up™ dealer or Kendon Industries direct.
