IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This trailer’s Hitch Coupler MUST be properly secured to the hitch ball of the towing vehicle. After assembly and attachment, pull up and down on the Hitch Coupler to make sure the hitch ball is fitting snugly in the Hitch Coupler. There must be no play between the hitch ball and Hitch Coupler. If there is play, tighten the Adjustment Nut until no play is present. If the Adjustment Nut is too tight, the Handle will not lock. Carefully read and follow the complete instructions in this manual BEFORE setup or use.
If the Coupler is not secured properly, the ball could come loose while the trailer is in motion, possibly causing property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
