• 10mm, 16mm and 24mm Sockets
• 1/2" Drive 5" Socket Extension

• The Bed of the Trailer is very heavy and must be removed from the Shipping
Crate by at least two adults.
• Always be aware of where your Hands and Feet are positioned as they can be
crushed if you lose your grip while turning over the Shipping Crate.
• Never allow children or pets to play around you, the Bed, Shipping Crate, or
Trailer when you are performing these steps.
1. Remove the Bed from the Steel-Shipping Crate with the assistance of at least
one other person by turning the Shipping Crate over into its top with the Bed
still inside (Figure 4) and lifting the Crate off of the Bed leaving the Bed
upside down on level ground (Figure 5).
2. To remove the Blue Plastic Film from the exterior and underside of the Bed,
use a Utility Knife to cut around the Black Frame of the Trailer (Figure 5).
Once you have cut around the Black Frame, use the point of the Knife to
begin peeling at the edge of the Film.
3. Lay the Tow Beam on the bottom of the Dump Bed with the Dump Bracket
pointing down. Position the Pivot Brackets of the Tow Bar between the
Female Brackets of the Bed Frame (Figure 6).
4. Insert a Pivot Pin from the inside through the Female Bracket and place a Flat
Washer on the Pin from the outside (Figure 6). Repeat for the other side.
5. Insert a Cotter Pin through the Hole in the Pivot Pin and bend the Legs over
using Needle Nose Pliers (Figure 7). Repeat for the other side.

The Bed of the Trailer is not secured to the crate. Hold on to the lip of the Trailer
Bed and the Crate while turning over to avoid injury from the Bed falling out of
the Crate.
