Assembling the Trailer
1. Mount the tongue assembly to the mounting
bracket on the underside of the trailer bed with
2 bolts (3/8 x 2-3/4 inches), 2 spacers and 2
locknuts. For most applications, use the front
set of mounting holes in the tongue and bracket
(Figure
1).

3. Mount a wheel assembly to each axle hub with
4 lug nuts
(108.47 N·m). Inflate the tires to 5 psi (34 kPa).
Note:
To prevent premature wear of the tires,
the wheels should have 0 to 3 (0 to 1/8 inch)
toe-in when they are pointed straight ahead. To
check the toe-in, scribe a line around the center
of each tire. Measure the center-to-center
distance
(Figure
in front and back of the tires. Adjust the axle
mounting brackets so that the measurement at
the front of the tire is within 3 mm (1/8 inch) less
than the measurement at the back of the tire.
