ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
Tools needed -- two 7/16” wrenches, two 1/2”wrenches,
3/4”socket with ratchet & extension, needle nose pliers
and a grease gun w/fitting.
IMPORTANT ASSEMBLY TIP: Do not tighten any
nut and bolt combinations completely until all
parts are assembled together! Finger tighten plus
one turn of a wrench only! This will temporarily
hold the lock nut on the bolt while helping align-
ment of all parts! After all parts are assembled
together, all nut & bolt combinations must be
completely tightened.
1. Insert rear tongue tube (TK81) to the welded-on
“U”-bracket located on the axle tube (TK80) using (1)
provided 5/16-18 x 2-3/4”bolt, nyloc nut and 5/16”
washer. SEE FIGURE 1 OR 2.
2. Insert the front hitch tongue (TK85) and the rear hitch
tongue (TK87) into the connector pocket (TK89) and
secure using (2) provided 5/16-18 x 2-1/4” bolts and
nyloc nuts. SEE FIGURE 1 OR 2.
3. Attach the assembled hitch tongue to the rear tongue
tube using (2) provided 5/16-18 x 4”bolts, nyloc
nuts and (4) steel washers. Be sure the entire tongue
assembly is aligned before tightening. SEE FIGURE 1
OR 2.
NOTE: Front tongue does not go inside rear
tongue. Front tongue bolts on top of rear
tongue.
4. Slide the axle plate (300705) over the short end of axle
spindle (TK48). Thread the short end of axle spindle
into the axle tube until tight. Back off the axle spindle
until holes are aligned and secure using (1) provided
1/4-20 x 1-3/4”bolt and nyloc nut. SEE FIGURE 1 OR
2. Repeat this step for the other side.
FOR TX158
5. Support the trailer far enough off the ground for the
assembly of the wheels. Slide the wheel onto the
threaded axle spindle with grease fitting facing out-
ward. Secure in place following this order: wheel, 3/4”
washer, 3/4”crown nut and cotter pin. Back crown nut
off just enough so wheel spins freely and crown nut
slot aligns with hole in threaded axle spindle. Insert
cotter pin. Using a needle nose pliers, bend cotter pin
ears around so it will not come off the axle spindle.
Repeat this step for remaining wheel. SEE FIGURE 1.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must grease the bearings of
each wheel. Using a grease gun, pump high quality
grease into the bearings by attaching to grease
fitting located on wheel hub. Check the grease level
frequently to prevent bearings from seizing.

Using a needle nose pliers, bend cotter pin ears around
so it will not come off the axle spindle. Repeat this step
for remaining three wheels. SEE FIGURES 2 AND 3.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must grease the bearings of

NOTE: The side rail that goes in the front of trailer
frame is narrower than the others. Lubrication is
recommended at slide-together points.
USE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. To use the tilt/pivot feature, simply unlatch the latch
located on trailer tongue. This will allow you to tilt the
trailer frame upward to unload. If pivoting is desired,
simply unlatch the latch and turn the trailer frame to
the desired location, left or right, and tilt trailer frame
upward to unload. This feature works well when in
tight areas. Or if backing up your trailer is not an
option, simply drive along side desired unloading
area, unlatch the trailer frame and turn trailer frame to
desired location.
Always…
• Be sure the trailer is securely attached to ATV hitch.
• Check tires for correct air pressure before each use.
• Use as 4-wheeled ATV trailer only.
• Inspect before each & every use to be sure there is no
product damage or loose/missing bolts & hardware.
• Have wheel bearings properly greased to avoid bear-
ings from seizing.
