This Timpte trailer is designed for operation within legal posted speed limits on reasonable road surfaces for the
type of service it was built to perform, in accordance with the noted weight restrictions.
“Normal Service” means the loading and transportation of uniformly distributed loads of properly secured, noncor-
rosive cargo, in accordance with any applicable factory instructions and in a manner which does not subject the
trailer or parts of the trailer to (a) concentrated loads; (b) loads in excess of the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) stated on the Certication Plate afxed to the trailer by Timpte; and (c)
accidental damage, or (d) stresses, impacts or shocks greater than those commensurate with normal, reasonable
lawful use.
The GAWR (gross axle weight rating) is the structural capability of the lowest rated member of the running gear
components: suspension system, hubs, brake drums, wheels, bearings, axles, brake linings or tires.
The GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) is the structural capability of the trailer when supported by the kingpin and
axles with the load uniformly distributed throughout the cargo space.
NORMAL TRAILER OPERATION
The maximum load indicated on the identication plate
may not be a legal load on the highway you plan to use.
States have diering laws and regulations aecting
vehicle lengths and weights on roads that are not a part
of the primary interstate road system.
Modication of the Trailer – Any modication made to the trailer must comply with DOT and NHTSA reg-
ulations and must not compromise the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the trailer. Any modication made to
the trailer without prior approval of Timpte may void the warranty. Any operation of the trailer outside the limitations
stated in this manual will void any responsibility of Timpte, Inc. for any of its results.
