Hydro Tek CP series - Trailers

TRAILERS: Hydro Tek trailers are designed to
match your Hydro Tek washer and increase
productivity. Several trailer and tank skid
configurations are available.
The trailer electrical connection comes with a 4
pole flat receptacle. Because of the vast array of
different connectors, you may need to have one
installed by your dealer or purchase
at a local auto parts store and install
yourself. Electric brake trailers
require an electric brake controller
installed in the tow vehicle.
Be sure that the trailer you order conforms to your
particular State Department of Transportation
regulations, including but not limited to braking and
lighting requirements. If water is being transported
on the highway, trailer brakes are recommended.
Adjust brake drums as required.
Before taking trailer on the road, be certain that the
hitch on your tow vehicle is rated for the full trailer
weight and of the proper height so that the trailer
remains level when hitched, or wheel damage
could result. Trailer tongue weight on the tow
vehicle hitch should never be under 8% of the total
trailer (loaded) weight. Insufficient tongue weight
can result in “fishtailing” and loss of control of the
trailer AND tow vehicle.

Before each use: Check air pressure in tires.
Check all bolts including the lug nuts for tightness
and condition periodically. Double check safely
chain and wire harness before departing. Check

trailer ball properly. Never tow without properly
adjusted rear view mirrors, brake actuators, or
lights.
Grease wheel bearings as required.
