Maintenance and Storage
Tongue Maintenance
Lubricate the tongue pivot using a light machine oil once a year for normal
use, and every three months for heavier use—i.e., with frequent tongue re-
moval or when using in wet or salty conditions.
WARNING
Do not use or store the trailer at temperatures below 2˚ F (0° C), as
the hitch rubber flex connector can become brittle and possibly break,
causing an accident resulting in serious injury.
Fabric Care
Your trailer body is made of a tough, waterproof polyester fabric, which is
highly resistant to fading. It can be easily cleaned with any mild soap or
detergent and warm water. For heavy soiling, use a nylon bristle brush. Do
not use bleach for cleaning, as it will damage the fabric. The fabric is an
important part of your trailer's structure. Replace any fabric that is ripped,
scuffed, or otherwise damaged. Polyester fabric will eventually fade, espe-
cially when exposed to direct sunlight. To extend the life of your trailer, wipe
it dry (to help avoid mildew) and store it out of direct sunlight in a dry, well-
ventilated area.
WARNING
A trailer with damaged or ripped fabric components can allow the
cargo to be lost or cause an accident, resulting in serious injury.
Replace damaged components immediately.
