3. Operation

3.1 Suggested Pre-Trip Check List

There are a number of rules to follow in caring for your trailer that can

add years to its life. In the case of some of these rules, you may be

protecting your own life as well. Using the following checklist before

starting a trip with your trailer is highly recommended. Some of these

items should be checked 2 to 3 weeks prior to a planned trip to allow

sufficient time to perform maintenance.

• Check your maintenance schedule and be sure you are up-to-date.

• Check the hitch. Is it showing wear? Is it properly lubricated?

• Fasten safety chains securely.

• Inspect towing hookup for secure attachment.

• Load your trailer so that approximately 7% to 10% of the trailer’s total

weight (GVWR) is on the hitch. For lighter trailers this should be

increased slightly.

• DO NOT OVERLOAD. Stay within your gross vehicle rated capacity

for your tow vehicle or trailer. Maximum carrying capacity is calculated

by subtracting trailer weight from GVWR.

• Inflate tires according to manufacturer’s specifications, located on the

side of the tire. Inspect tires for cuts, excessive wear, etc.

• Check wheel mounting nuts/bolts with a torque wrench. Torque lug

nuts to 85 ft.lbs.

• If applicable, make certain brakes function properly and are adjusted

correctly.

• Check operation of all lights.

• Check that your trailer is towing in a level position and adjust hitch

height if required.

• Check that all access doors are in the closed position.

3.2 Towing Tips

• Always check for properly functioning braking system before and after

trip. Be sure all brake lines are free and clear of obstructions and that

brake fluid is at a proper level.

• Trailer tires do not come balanced and may need to be if you are

experiencing vibration while towing. This is part of normal

maintenance and is the responsibility of the owner.

• Be sure to properly balance your load by adjusting hitch to provide a

level unit. Benefits will include:

• less stress on tow vehicle

• better ride

• less stress on generator unit

• reduced sway of trailer

• DO NOT OVERLOAD. Stay within your gross vehicle rated capacity

for tow vehicle weight.

• Be sure your hitch and trailer are sized properly according to vehicle

manufacturer’s recommended towing capacity.

3.3 Troubleshooting

Problem / Symptom Reason / Remedy

Lighting and Wiring System

not functioning properly.

• Most lighting systems are sealed, therefore DO NOT

ground through the ball and require a good vehicle

ground.

• The ground wire (white) should be the first thing to

check even if it is factory installed. This is the most

common problem.

• Hook up trailer wire harness to another tow vehicle

to determine if lights are working properly on either

vehicle. This will eliminate possible problem with the

tow vehicle.

• Check light element with similar light on trailer to

determine if the light is burned out.

• When repairing the wire harness, connect all similar

colored wires together. For example, the two white

ground wires from the harness are connected to the

white ground in the plug.

• All replacement lights, lenses, and wire harnesses

can be purchased through your Wacker dealer

Braking System not fuctioning

properly.

• Check electrical hook-up (electric brakes).

• Check that master cylinder is filled properly (surge

brakes).

• Check for air in system by bleeding (surge brakes).

• For electrical brakes check for power at wheels.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Maintenance

• Always maintain recommended air pressure in tires.

• Follow all maintenance procedures in your axle manual and actuator

manual, if applicable.

to do so will result in a non-warranty brake system failure.

• To prevent corrosion, periodically coat electric plug with dielectric

compound available at your local auto parts store.

• Check and lubricate bearings every 6 months or 6,000 miles; or more

often, based on usage.

• Bleed brakes every 12 months or 12,000 miles; or more often, based

on usage.

• Periodically spray mechanical moving parts, such as the hitch and

suspension parts that are exposed to the weather, with a petroleum-

based penetrating lubricant available at your local auto parts store.

4.2 Seasonal Storage Checklist

• Block up trailer under the frame to avoid flat spotting of the tires.

• Follow all storage procedures per axle manual.

• Coat electric plug with dielectric compound.

• Check master cylinder for proper fluid level.

• Lubricate all mechanical moving parts that are exposed to the

weather.

• Spray metal brake components with a penetrating lubricant with teflon

to help prevent corrosion.
