Assembly  
Refer to the Assembly Drawing on page 7.  
1. Attach the four Support Panels (A2) to the Axle (A6) using four Bolts (B1) and Lock  
Nuts (B2). Set aside.  
2. Attach the Connect Bar (A5) to the Tow Bar (A4) with two Bolts (B5) and two Lock  
Nuts (B6).  
3. Attach the Support Bracket (A3) to the Tow Bar (A4) with L Pin (B7) and secure it  
with cotter R Pin (B8).  
4. Connect the other end (the end without the Connect Bar (A5) of the Tow Bar (A4) to  
the center of the Axle (A6) using Bolt (B4) and Lock Nut (B2).  
5. WHEEL BEARINGS AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY  
A.  
The wheel bearings are shipped dry and MUST be packed with bearing grease prior to  
assembly. Wear latex gloves and apply grease liberally around the bearing rollers.  
B.  
Wipe the two bearing races on each wheel clean. It is also recommended that the  
inside of the where the dust cap will go be wiped with some grease. This will remove  
surface rust and make the installation of the caps easier.  
C.  
D.  
Insert the bearings into one wheel, matching the taper of the rollers to that of the races.  
Hold the bearings in place, while sliding the hub over the axle. Slide one large Washer  
(A8) over the spindle, then install and hand-tighten one Castle Nut (A9) to retain the  
wheel. Repeat with the other wheel.  
Tighten the Castle Nut firmly, but not excessively. A 31mm socket wrench is best for  
this. Now back the nut off so that the nearest slot in the shoulder aligns with the cotter  
pin hole in the spindle. Test the wheel for free rotation. If necessary, loosen the nut  
another slot (1/6 of a turn), and check again. The wheel should rotate freely, yet have  
minimal side play on the spindle.  
E.  
F.  
Insert the Cotter Pin (A10) through the slot and the spindle hole, then bend the longer  
leg up with small pliers. Repeat steps D and E on the opposite side.  
The dust caps are intended to protect the bearing. They fit tightly and require some  
patience to install. Tap them in with a mallet.  
6. Set the Frame (A1) so that the holes in the center of the bracket crossing the middle  
of the bed line up with the four holes on the top of the two Support Panels (A2). Make  
sure the Frame (A1) is positioned with the two holes facing front (see Assembly  
Drawing on page 7). Loosely attach them with four Bolts (B1) and four Lock Nuts  
(B2).  
7. Attach the top of the Support Bracket (A3) to the two holes on the front of the Frame  
(A1) with two Bolts (B3) and Lock Nuts (B2). Go back and tighten the hardware used  
in step 6 above.  
8. If using wooden stake side panels (not included), slide the two side panels into the  
Bed Frame Sockets (see Assembly Drawing on page 7). Repeat with two front/rear  
panels. Make sure the vertical supports that fit into the sockets face the outside of the  
Trailer. Secure each side panel into the Bed Frame Sockets by inserting a screws  
(screws included in Wooden Stake Panel Kit).

1. Attach the Connect Bar (A5) to the towing vehicle. Read the towing vehicle manual for  
towing and hitch connection procedures and safety warnings.  
2. To tilt the Trailer as shown in FIGURE 1, hold onto the Support Bracket (A3) firmly  
while removing the L Pin (B7) and the cotter R Pin (B8). Slowly tilt the bed. If using  
rear stake panel (not included), remove the panel and empty or load the Trailer.  
Replace the Rear Panel.  
3. When finished, bring the bed back to the original position so that the hole on the  
Support Bracket (A3) lines up with the hole on the Tow Bar (A4). Replace the L Pin  
(B7) and the cotter R Pin (B8).

Bearing Packing Instructions  
Important  
Read and adhere to the following instructions; failure to read and  
obey all of the following instructions COMPLETELY will void the war-  
ranty and can result in damage to the trailer, property damage, or SERI-  
OUS PERSONAL INJURY.  
Whenever a hub is disassembled (if a hub on a new unit requires  
assembly or a hub is disassembled for maintenance), the following pro-  
cedure MUST be followed.  
1.  
Using a suitable solvent, thoroughly clean the bearings and the rest of  
the parts in the Hub assembly of all grease, dirt, metal shavings, or any  
other foreign object. The parts must be cleaned even if they are new  
or appear clean.  
2.  
3.  
Allow all pieces to dry completely.  
Make sure that your hands are thoroughly clean and the bearing packer  
(not included) is also thoroughly clean.  
4.  
5.  
Place fresh, clean bearing grease in the packer.  
With the grease-filled bearing packer in one hand and the bearing in the  
other, press the bearing into the grease, forcing the grease inside the  
slots in the bearing, continue doing this until every slot in the bearing is  
completely full of grease.  
6.  
Finish assembling the hub/wheel assembly as explained in the manual,  
being careful not to get any dirt or debris on any part of the assembly.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
