Maintenance Tips
Regular preventative maintenance items outlined in this section may be repeated and reinforced to extend the life of your trailer. Check your packet for additional maintenance items on your trailer.
Gooseneck Hitch - Before each tow, the gooseneck coupler and the gooseneck ball need a thin layer of automotive grease to reduce wear and insure proper operation. Replace any parts immediately if they show wear, corrosion or if the parts are not in proper working order. If the gooseneck coupler or ball need to be replaced be sure to replace it with the correct load rating.

trailer fixWheel Bolts - Check the torque after the first 50 miles and again at 100 miles, then at a minimum of every one thousand miles make sure they are tight. It isextremely important to apply and maintain the proper wheel mounting torque on your trailer axle. If you are replacing a wheel it is important that the wheels, tires, and axle are properly matched. Be sure to match the wheel to the axle hub. Make sure the wheels have enough load carrying capacity and pressure rating to match the maximum load of the tire and trailer. Care should be taken to match any replacement wheel with the same offset wheel as originally equipped. Failure to match offset can result in reducing the load carryingcapacity of your axle and cause bearing stress.
