Improper front / rear load distribution can lead to poor trailer sway stability or poor tow
vehicle handling. The water trailer has been designed to have the proper tongue weight
regardless of the tank being empty or full. Adding items or storing items in or on the
trailer may exceed GVWR of the axles and GTW which will change the tongue weight
distribution and cause an unsafe traveling condition. DO NOT modify or add to the trailer.
LOAD DISTRIBUTION
WARNING:WARNING:
ADJUSTING THE TRAILER COUPLE HEIGHT
1. With the trailer on level pavement and the tank empty, connect the trailer to the tow
vehicle; raise the jack.
2. Place a spirit level on the tongue behind the coupler channel (Fig. 15).
Fig. 15
Spirit level
3. The trailer should be as level as possible with the tow vehicle. If it is not, go to step
4.
4. Lower the jack to allow the tow vehicle to be moved away from the trailer.
5. Using two open end wrenches, loosen the coupler retaining bolts. Remove the nuts.
6. If the spirit level bubble was toward the vehicle (Fig. 16), the coupler is set too low.
If the bubble was toward the trailer, the coupler is set too high.
7. While holding the coupler with one hand, remove the bolts being careful not to allow
the coupler to fall to the ground.
8. Raise or lower the coupler as required to level the trailer to the tow vehicle.
The use of a hitch with a load rating less than the load rating of the trailer can result in
loss of control and may lead to death or injury. Using a tow vehicle with a towing capacity
lower than the load rating of the trailer can result in loss of control and may result in
injury or death. Be sure your hitch and tow vehicle are rated for the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) of your trailer.
