overheating. Extended overheating could result in
complete loss of the trailer brakes.
Check tie-downs and make sure boat is secured to
the trailer.
To help prevent overheating, slow down while ap-
proaching the crest of a hill  and maintain a slow,
controlled downhill speed.  Apply  brakes in short
intervals to  allow time  between  braking for  the
brakes to cool off.

8.
Check the  springs and  under carriage  for loose
parts.
Before towing, close and secure all hatches, doors,
and windows.   Securely  store all  equipment and
canvas. Installed tops, side curtains, and aft curtains
can be damaged while towing.
In mountain  regions, extra  care is  required
due  to extreme  braking  conditions.   If  not
equipped with  a “rugged  duty towing pack-
age” use  turnouts  often to  allow brakes  to
cool  otherwise loss  of  trailer brakes  could
result.  Consult with your Four Winns dealer
regarding a “rugged duty towing package” for
your towing requirements.

Carry a  spare tire  for both  the trailer and  towing
vehicle. On extended trips, carry spare wheel bear-
ings, seals, and races. Be sure and carry the proper
tools to complete the repairs.
Toavoidbearingfailureandpossiblewheelloss,
keep wheel bearings properly lubricated. Insp-
ect the wheel bearings periodically and  check
for damage.

When rounding turns on highways or streets, DO
NOT cut corners. Also, travel slowly over railroad
tracks.
6.
If the trailer begins to “fishtail” when acceler at ing,
reduce speed until it ceases.  If the trailer “fishtails”
again during acceleration, stop to  investigate the
cause of the problem.  Check for improper  trailer
load and uneven weight distribution inside the boat.
Checkthewinchlineandtie-downs.    Alsocheckthe
tires for proper inflation or damage.  If neces sary,
redistribute the load before continuing.
10.
Before trailering, inspect the bearings for wear and
adequate lubrication.   When  traveling, check  the
wheel hubs during stops at gas stations, restaurants
or other places. If the hub feels abnormally hot, the
bearing should be inspected before continuing the
trip.

MAINTENANCE
A.   Care of Exterior Finish
When using  the trailer,  keep in  mind the  paint can
scratch and  become marred  during normal use.   In
most cases, touch-up paint can be  ordered.  Please
contact a Four Winns dealer for assistance.

Allow at least  one car and trailer length  between
vehicles for each 10 mph.  DO NOT tailgate.
Use  low gear  (on  manual transmissions)  when
traveling up steep hills or over sand, gravel, or dirt
roads.
Some maintenance is required to maintain the finish
and minimize rusting.   The trailer  should be washed
and rinsed with clean water immediately after each use.
Depending upon use, waxing is recommended twice
a year.  Use paste wax designed for enamel paint.

downhill.   This  could activate  the trailer’s  surge
brakes for the duration of the downhill run and cause
