Final Adjustment:
Place the PWC’s on the trailer so the rear of the machines are
positioned at the rear of the bunks. Check the bunk positioning
for clearance with the strakes. Loosen the U-bolts securing the
PWC bunk brackets to the crossmembers and slide the bunks
either in or out so that they are located just to the outside of
matching strakes. This will not only help with loading but will
also give you proper support for your machine. Re-tighten
the bunks when in the proper location. Repeat on the other
machine.
Note the PWC bunk brackets also have multiple holes for
raising or lowering the position that the machine sets on the
trailer with respect to the frame and fenders. It may require
a change in the height adjustment to clear the fenders on
certain machines.
Winch Post Weldments:
Once the machines are properly positioned on the bunks
the winch post weldments can now be adjusted.
Remove the two 3/8” x 3-3/4” hex bolts installed earlier to
hold the winch post weldment to the frame. Slide the winch
posts weldment either forward of backward so it corresponds
with the front of the machine. Rotate the winch post weldment
so that the bow stop roller is positioned just above the bow
eye of the machine. Attach the winch strap, route under the
bow stop roller, then to the bow eye and tighten the winch
strap slightly to help hold the winch post weldment in posi-
tion. Locate and align the mounting holes in the winch post
weldment with the holes in the frame member. Re-install the
3/8” x 3-3/4” hex bolts in the new location. Secure with the
3/8” lock nuts removed. Tighten in position.
Pull the machine into the winch post weldment bow eye
roller and check to make sure the positioning is correct. The
bow eye roller must be positioned just above the bow eye to
properly stop the machines in the event of a sudden stop.
The winch strap must run under the bow eye roller when it is
attached to the bow eye.
Repeat the above process on the other machine.
Tongue Weight:
Check the trailer for proper tongue weight. Best towing is
achieved when the tongue weight is 5-7% of the total gross
load of the complete unit.
Axle Adjustment:
The amount of tongue weight on your trailer can be
adjusted as follows:
To lower the tongue weight, adjust the axle assembly
forward, to increase the tongue weight, adjust the
axle assembly backward.
The distance that the axle assembly has to be moved
will vary because it is directly related to the weight and
center of gravity of the machines placed on it.
Re-check all nuts and bolts for tightness to make sure that
none have been missed during assembly. Unit is now ready
to be towed.
