Northstar Trailers LOADSTAR I XL - Manual (Page 12)

STEP 8: INSTALL SIDE RAILS & CORNER BRACKETS
Note: fasten bolts to finger-tightness until the side braces, brackets and side-rails are
all in place—this will allow you to make alignment adjustments if needed. Once all
parts are aligned and secured, securely tighten all bolts.
INSTALL REAR CORNER BRACKETS, RAIL SUPPORTS AND RAIL
a. Attach the rear corner brackets (5) and front corner brackets (4) to the
frame using 1” bolts (J), small flat-washers (I), small lock-washers (H) and
small locknuts (C).
b. Install the rail-supports (6) to the trailer frame using 1” bolts (J), small lock-
washers (H) and small flat-washers (I). Do not fully tighten yet.
c. With the help of another person, fasten the main top-rail (3) to the top of the
supports using 1” bolts (J) and small locknuts (C).
d. The last rail-support will fasten to the rear corner brackets.
Note: the rail supports fasten to the outside of the rails. Install the bolts from the
trailer-side of the rail, through the rail and into the rail support.
TIGHTEN AND SECURE ALL BOLTS! After all the rails and supports are in their
proper positions, make sure to tighten all bolts.
STEP 9: INSTALL REAR GATE
a. Connect the gate’s pin-slots with those on the trailer using the gate-pins (F).
b. Secure the gate-pins with the cotter-pins, and then secure the cotter-pins by
bending at least one leg to 90 degrees.
