Protecting Yourself and Those around You
You must operate the Trailer safely. Unsafe operation can create a number of hazards for you, as well as anyone else in the nearby
area. Always take the following precautions when using this trailer:
Never exceed the rated towing capacity of the Tow Vehicle. Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents
or hazards occurring to other people, their property, and themselves.
We recommend wearing gloves and protective goggles or safety glasses with side shields while assembling or using the DR
VERSA TRAILER and the supplied Winch.
Wear shoes with non-slip treads when assembling or operating your Trailer. If you have safety shoes, we recommend wearing
them. Do not assemble or use the Trailer while barefoot or wearing open toed footwear.
Wear long pants while assembling or operating the DR VERSA TRAILER and a long sleeved shirt to protect from accidental
scrapes, cuts, or abrasions that may result.
Do not transport people on or inside the Trailer. The transport of people can result in injury or death and may be illegal, as the
Trailer has not been designed to carry passengers.
Do not transport flammable, explosive, poisonous, or other dangerous materials in your Trailer.
Safety for Children and Pets
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children and pets. Children are often attracted to the
Trailer and the hauling activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. Always follow these precautions:
Keep children and pets at least 30 feet away from the working area and ensure they are under the watchful care of a responsible
adult.
Be alert and stop what you are doing if children or pets enter the work area.
Never allow children to operate the tow vehicle or the DR VERSA TRAILER.
Use care when backing up to make sure the area is clear of children, pets, and other objects that could result in damage or injury.
General Safety
Operating this DR VERSA TRAILER safely is necessary to prevent or minimize the risk of death or serious injury. Unsafe operation
can create a number of hazards for you. Always take the following precautions when operating this Trailer:
Your DR VERSA TRAILER is not a plaything. Exercise extreme caution at all times. The Trailer is designed for hauling material.
Do not use it for any other purpose.
Know how to operate and stop the Tow Vehicle quickly; refer to the Tow Vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.
Never, under any conditions, remove, bend, cut, fit, weld, or otherwise alter standard parts on the DR VERSA TRAILER.
Modifications to your Trailer could cause personal injuries and property damage and will void your warranty.
Before performing any maintenance or inspection procedure on the DR VERSA TRAILER, park first on flat, level ground. Place
Vehicles with Automatic Transmission in Park. For Vehicles with Manual Transmission, place Vehicle in the configuration
recommended by the Vehicle's Owner’s Manual. Set the Tow Vehicle's Parking Brake (if equipped), shut the Engine OFF, and
remove the Key. Chock the wheels of the Tow Vehicle to ensure that the Vehicle cannot move. Ensure that the Bed of the
Trailer is completely lowered and is resting on the Frame of the Trailer.
Never allow people who do not understand and/or have not read this Safety and Operating Instructions Manual to use the DR
VERSA TRAILER. Allow only responsible individuals who are familiar with these rules of safe operation and the safe operation of
your Tow Vehicle to use your Trailer.
Never overload the Trailer. Personal injury or damage to the Trailer may result. Damage caused to the Trailer can void the Warranty.
While using the DR VERSA TRAILER, don't hurry or take things for granted. When in doubt, stop the Tow Vehicle and take the
time to look things over.
Never operate the Trailer when under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medication, or if mentally or physically impaired.
Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
Keep all nuts and bolts tight and keep the Trailer in good operating condition as outlined in Chapter 4: Maintaining the DR
VERSA TRAILER.

Safely Towing your DR VERSA TRAILER
BEFORE towing your DR VERSA TRAILER, read the following:
The Trailer’s maximum towing capacity is 2000 pounds.
Driving a vehicle with a Trailer in tow is vastly different from driving the same vehicle without a trailer in tow. When towing a
Trailer, you need more room to turn and more distance to stop. You will need to spend time adjusting to the different feel
and maneuverability of the Tow Vehicle with a loaded Trailer.
Never exceed the maximum tow rating for the Vehicle being used.
An improperly coupled Trailer may result in death or serious injury. Before coupling the DR VERSA TRAILER to your Tow
Vehicle, be sure the size of the Ball is 2". Make sure that the Hitch Ball is not worn or cracked and is tight on the Tow
Vehicle’s Hitch. Also check the Coupler for cracks and deformations and make sure that the Coupler is securely fastened to
the Trailer Tongue with the Safety Snap Pin installed. Lubricate the Hitch Ball and the inside of the Coupler with a thin layer
of grease. Make sure the Tow Hitch is adjusted properly to the Ball Hitch.
Before using your Trailer, make sure to inspect and properly maintain your Tow Vehicle. Be sure your Tow Vehicle's brakes
are properly maintained and in good working order.
Assure that the Trailer Wheel Lug Nuts are tight before towing as outlined in Chapter 4: Maintaining the DR VERSA TRAILER.
Improper Tire pressure can result in a blowout and loss of control, which can lead to death or serious injury. Be sure the
Tires are properly inflated to the pressure indicated on the sidewall of the Tire(s) before towing the Trailer.
Make sure the Trailer’s Jack and Crane Supports are fully retracted and the Crane is securely locked before towing.
Use caution when towing the Trailer over rough terrain and hillsides to prevent loss of control and rolling over. Never operate
near, or on slopes of 20 degrees or greater.
Slow down for bumps and release the Tow Vehicle’s accelerator when crossing the bump to avoid unintended acceleration.
Do not brake while in a curve unless absolutely necessary. Instead, slow down before you enter the curve and power through
the curve. This way, the Towing Vehicle remains in charge.
Do not apply the brakes to correct extreme Trailer swaying. Continuing to pull the Trailer, with slight acceleration will provide
a stabilizing force. If swaying occurs, inspect the load to ensure that it is centered and well restrained.
Be careful when towing the Trailer in icy, wet, or snowy conditions, which could impair the braking ability and the stability of
the Tow Vehicle.
Driving too fast for conditions can result in loss of control and may cause death or serious injury. Decrease your speed as
ground, weather, and lighting conditions deteriorate.
Never exceed 25 mph.
Use lower gears when climbing and descending grades.
Your Tow Vehicle’s braking and stability may be affected when towing the DR VERSA TRAILER.
Do not ride the brakes while descending grades, as they may get so hot that they stop working. This may lead to a runaway
Tow Vehicle and Trailer.
Using the Trailer with a heavy load may exceed and inhibit the towing capacity of the Tow Vehicle. Do not exceed the
maximum towing capacity of your Tow Vehicle. Check the Tow Vehicle’s Owner’s Manual on tow capacity limitations.
Make sure the DR VERSA TRAILER is not overloaded and that the load is properly distributed front to back and side to side
and properly secured to prevent shifting of the load during transportation. Shifting, or uneven loads may result in the loss of
control of the Trailer or Tow Vehicle.
Before operating the Tow Vehicle and DR VERSA TRAILER on any sloped surface or hill, refer to the Safety Rules in the Tow
Vehicle’s Owner’s Manual on proper operation on slopes. Do not use on or near slopes over 20 degrees.
Do not tow the Trailer on highways or on public thoroughfares. The DR VERSA TRAILER is designed for off road use only.
A Note to All Users
No list of warnings and cautions can be all-inclusive. If situations occur that are not covered by this manual, the operator must
apply common sense and operate this DR VERSA TRAILER in a safe manner. Contact us at www.DRpower.com or call Toll Free:

Installing the Wheels and Tow Bar to the Main Frame
Tools Needed:
Two Adjustable Wrenches capable of tightening a 30mm or 1-1/2" Bolt Head.
13mm Wrench required (12, 18, & 30mm Wrenches optional if two Adjustable
Wrenches are available)
Needle Nose Pliers
21mm Socket required (12, 18, & 30mm Sockets optional if Adjustable Wrenches
available)
Tape Measure
5" Socket Extension
Jack Stand
Two Wheel Chocks
1. Measure the Axles to determine the correct orientation for installation on the
Trailer. The longer portion of the Axle (Figure 5) should face the Front of the
Trailer.
NOTE: The Front of the Trailer has the two rectangular Bosses welded to the side of the
Trailer.
2. Turn the Main Frame upside down. Install the Axles to the Main Frame by
inserting the Axle Pivot Pins, with the Tab facing downwards, from the outside of
the Main Frame through the Axles. Align the Hole through the Tab on the Pin
with the Hole in the Main Frame and repeat for opposite side (Figure 6).
Take care not to Pinch hands or Fingers when installing the Axles and Axle Pivot Pins.
NOTE: It is easier to install the Axle Pivot Pins by first placing the Axle(s) between the
mounting plates, then picking up one end of the Axle, while allowing the other to rest on the
ground. This will take some of the weight off and allow you to align the holes much easier so
you may insert the Axle Pivot Pin(s).
3. Insert a M8 x 30mm Mounting Bolt (Figure 7) from the inside of the Frame and
through the Tab on the Axle Pivot Pin. Install a M8 Flange Nut and tighten with a
12mm Socket, holding the Bolt with a 13mm Wrench.
4. Insert a Cotter Pin (Figure 7) through the Left and Right Axle Pivot Pins and bend the
legs over with Pliers.
5. Install the Left and Right wheels on the Axles with the supplied Lug Nuts until snug
with a 21mm Socket and 5" Extension; they will be torqued later.

NOTE: The Wheels are marked L (Left) and R (Right), as they are directional Tires.
Since the Main Frame is upside down, the Left Wheels should be installed
on the Right Side and the Right Wheels on the Left Side (Figure 8).
Make sure the Valve Stem(s) face outwards. The Lug Nuts must be
installed with the tapered side of the Nuts facing the Hub of the Wheel
(Figure 9).
6. Turn the unit over with the assistance of at least one other person.
NOTE: The easiest way of turning the unit over is to lift the two Wheels on the
Right Side of the Trailer while pivoting over the Wheels on the Left Side
(Figure 10).
7. Place a Jack Stand under the front of the Main Frame, which should
naturally be tipped backwards (Figure 11). Also place one wheel chock in
front of one of the Front Wheels and one wheel chock behind one of the
Rear Wheels to ensure the Trailer will not roll on you during assembly.
8. Slide the Tow Bar (with the Warning Label on top) into the Main Frame,
lining up the Mounting Hole with the hole in the Main Frame (Figure 12).
Gently allow the weight of the Tow Bar to force the front of the Main
Frame down onto the Jack Stand.

Installing the Jack to the Trailer
Tools needed:
Two 17mm Wrenches
1. Crank the Jack handle to ensure the Jack is at its lowest setting (shortest
length).
2. Position the Jack Flange approximately 10-1/2" from the end of the Tow
Bar and align the holes above and below the Tow Bar to determine the best
mounting location (Figure 18A).
Note: For proper Jack operation, the Wheel should not touch the ground when the
Jack is adjusted to the shortest length.
3. If the Wheel touches the ground you may be able to correct this by rotating
the Mounting Flange. Pull out on the Locking Lever and rotate the Flange
180 degrees to the next position (Figure 18B).

Make sure your 2" Hitch Ball is correctly tightened to the Receiver and that
the Receiver is properly connected to your Towing Vehicle. A loose Ball or
Receiver can result in the Trailer detaching from the Tow Vehicle during use.
