Tie Down LP750 - Manual (Page 6)

WARNING
Actuator and brakes should always be flushed with fresh water after using
trailer in corrosive conditions. This includes salt water, fertilizers and other
corrosive materials. Before storing trailer remove brakes and clean thoroughly.
It is also wise to repack the bearings at the same time. Failure to properly and
adequately maintain the actuator could cause serious damage, injury or death.
WARNING
The breakaway system is not designed to operate if the trailer does not
separate completely from the tow vehicle, or if the tongue goes under the
rear of the tow vehicle.
WARNING
In the event that the breakaway system is used, check all system components
(cable, S-hooks, etc.) for proper working order. Replace any damaged parts
with genuine Tie Down parts only.
WARNING
When re-setting the break a way system keep hands and fingers clear as you
re-set the mechanism, hydraulic pressure held in the system may cause the
assembly to snap back suddenly.
WARNING
AVOID sharp turns, which can cause the actuator to bind or jackknife against
the tow vehicle or cause a bend in the tongue. Either can damage the actuator
causing brake failure. AVOID towing trailer across large bumps or dips that may
over stress the connection between the trailer and tow vehicle, as this could
result in damage to the actuator.
WARNING
DO NOT REUSE BRAKE FLUID. Always use fresh DOT 3 fluid from a fresh
container. Failure to maintain proper levels of fluid in the reservoir will
cause brake failure.
WARNING
Failure to install the hitch pin before towing can result in accidental opening of
the coupler hitch latch which can lead to the trailer coming off of the hitch ball
causing serious damage, injury or death. If pin will not fit into the front lower
hole, the coupler is not attached properly. Re-set coupler on hitch ball.
WARNING
A minimum of 5% tongue weight and a maximum 10% tongue weight of the
trailer G.V.W.R must be located on the hitch ball. The Trailer tongue should be
parallel to the ground. Too much weight can cause premature brake actuation
and loss of control of the towing vehicle. To little tongue weight can cause the
trailer to fishtail, resulting in loss of control of the tow vehicle and trailer (total
trailer weight G.V.W.R. includes weight of the trailer plus load).
