"PINCH POINTS"
When setting up or closing your TrailManor, there are a few places to watch to
avoid pinching your fingers. Stay clear of the door when closing the trailer. Also,
keep hands away from the lift arms, lift arm pockets, and the bed supports
when opening or closing the trailer. Before lowering the trailer, always check
both sides of the trailer to ensure that no one else is near any pinch points.
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RAISE ROOF SECTIONS FROM SIDE OF
TRAILER, FINGERS MAY GET CAUGHT IN LIFT ARM POCKETS CAUSING
SERIOUS INJURY.
WHEEL LUGS
Because of the possibility that wheel lugs could work loose, it is important that
you check your wheel lugs every 50 miles when new until 200 miles are reached
and then check lugs every 500 miles. The wheel lugs should also be checked
after winter storage, before starting a trip, or following extensive braking. Also
check wheel lugs after changing a tire. Over-tightening can distort the wheel.
WHEEL BEARINGS
Proper maintenance is an important step in achieving maximum bearing life and
reducing the risk of failure.
Please refer to Dexter Axle or Lippert Axle: Operation Maintenance Service
Manual included in your owner’s manual binder for instructions.
TIRES
The tires on TrailManor trailers are high-pressure steel belted radials. Air
pressure should be kept at 50 p.s.i. for 14” tires and at 65 p.s.i. for 15” tires.
Always check the tires when they are cold, such as before traveling at the
beginning of the day. Under-inflated tires may cause slight swaying during
towing. Also, under-inflated tires will overheat, which may cause a blowout.
Tires tend to deteriorate with age. Tires should be inspected and replaced when
the tread or sidewall is cracked. This may occur before the tread shows
excessive wear. Tire warranty is covered by the manufacturer of the tires.
