Loading your FLOE trailer
Proper Loading & Unloading
Failure to follow the listed steps when loading or unloading
could result in damage to your trailer, tow vehicle, the load
you are hauling, and/or cause possible severe or fatal
injury to yourself and others.
WARNING
Never exceed the cargo load rating of your trailer. When
the trailer is loaded with dense or wet materials the load
can easily exceed the rated cargo capacity. Do not allow the
volume of the trailer to determine the load of your trailer.
Always verify the weight of the cargo you are hauling.
Failure to do so can cause severe damage and/or failure to
the hauling vehicle, the trailer and nearby vehicles.
WARNING
1. Prior to using the trailer loaded or unloaded it is imperative
that no structural damage exists. Do a visual check to ensure
that none of the structural components are bent or cracked.
• If damage does exist do not use the railer until it has been
repaired by an authorized repair service.
• Under no circumstances should an attempt be made to
straighten a bent structural component.
2. Never load or unload your trailer unless it is properly
connected to your tow vehicle.
3. Always ensure that tow vehicle and trailer are parked on
level, even ground. Loading while parked on an incline or
uneven ground may result in structural damage to trailer.
4. Ensure the trailer is fully tilted and that it will stay in the
tilted position until you have driven on to it.
5. Never move tow vehicle with the trailer in the tilted
position. Doing so may result in structural damage to the
trailer
6. Never load moving items such as ATVs and lawn mowers
at speeds greater than 5 mph.
7. Never allow the load to cause the trailer to tilt down quickly
and with a lot of force. is could cause structural damage
to the tongue, tongue receiver and cross members.
8. Aer loading, make sure the tilt clamp is secure and will
not work itself loose while being towed. Make sure the
safety pin is attached.
9. Always test your footing before walking on the trailer’s deck.
It may get very slippery in cold, wet and snowy weather.

When traveling on rough roads, reduce cargo weight and
speed to avoid causing structural damage to the trailer.
Failure to do so could cause product failure and/or injury
and death.
