AXLE BOLTS, FRAME, SUSPENSION, & STRUCTURE
! WARNING
Worn or broken suspension parts can cause loss of control and
injury may result.
Have trailer professionally inspected annually and after any
impact.
To perform many of the inspection and maintenance activities, you must jack up
the trailer.
When jacking and using jack stands, place them so as to clear wiring, brake lines,
and suspension parts (springs, torsion bars, etc.). Place jacks and jack stands
under the outer frame rail to which the axles are attached.
