lUG NUTS & TIRe PReSSURe

9.1 Retightening lug Nuts at First 10, 25 & 50 Miles

Wheel lugs can shift and settle quickly after being first assembled, and must be

checked after the first 10, 25 and 50 miles of driving and after any impact. Failure

to perform this check may result in a wheel coming loose from the trailer, causing a

crash leading to death or serious injury.

WARNING

Lug nuts are prone to loosen after initial installation, which can

lead to death or serious injury.

Check lug nuts for tightness on a new trailer or when wheel(s)

have been remounted after the first 10, 25 and 50 miles of driv-

ing and after any impact.

WARNING

The lug nuts for the tires must be tightened by the user before

each use. The tires must be maintained at the proper tire pressure

before each use. Sears cannot be held responsible for damages

caused by loosened lug nuts, or uneven tread wear and blow outs

from an under-inflated or over-inflated tire.

Failure to heed this warning could result in property damage,

serious injury and death.

WARNING

If tow vehicle brakes do not work properly, death or serious

injury can occur.

Road test your tow vehicle’s brakes in a safe area at no more

than 30 mph before each tow.

9.2 Tire Pressure

Check the pressure in each tire to ensure tire is set to the tire manufacturers

recommended pressure. The tires that came with your trailer should be filled to

80 psi. Use a tire gauge to get an accurate reading. You should check the pressure

before each tow.
