Section 1: Pre-trip preparations
Preparation overview
Before leaving on your rst trip with your GO, read the information in this manual very
carefully. After reading through the manual, run through the following checklist at least once.
(If you need to reference any of the sections to help you along the way, there is an overview
at the beginning of each section designed to give you a quick refresher.)
Pre-trip checklist
1. Loading: Properly load and secure your GO by carefully and evenly distributing the
weight, properly following rack accessory equipment (kayak, bike, storage) guidelines,
and not exceeding the overall weight capacity. (see Towing guidelines)
2. Wheel lug nuts: Check the torque on your wheels before your rst trip, 50-75 ft lbs.
Re-check them at 250+/- mile intervals, to be sure they remain secure. (see Suspension
system)
3. Tire ination and bearings: Tires should be inated to 50 psi cold. Refer to tire pressure
chart, located on the tongue. To help insure that you don’t run into premature or uneven
tire wear always check the tire pressure before heading out on the road. Check the
bearings on each wheel, the seals should be intact and no grease should be visibly
escaping (see Suspension system) .
4. Trailer coupler: Do a visual check to make sure the trailer coupler is securely latched to
the tow vehicle ball hitch and the indicator marker is in the “green”
section. (see Towing guidelines)
Do NOT climb on or get inside either of the plastic
storage boxes. Suffocation can occur if a person is
locked inside a storage box. Damage can occur if
weight is placed on top of boxes.
