CONNECTING THE TRAILER
1. Lower the coupler onto the ball hitch on the vehicle. Make sure it is properly secured.
2. Push down on the handle located on top of the coupler to lock the coupler in place.
3. Connect the safety chains. Do NOT tow the trailer without the safety chains securely attached to
the tow vehicle. Do NOT tow the trailer by the safety chains alone. The left chain crosses
underneath the trailer’s tongue and hooks to the right side of the tow vehicles permanent hitch frame or
structure. The right chain hooks to the left side in the same manner. The chains need slack to allow
your vehicle to make turns. Make sure these chains attach securely to your vehicle and do not drag on
the roadway.
4. Connect the trailer’s plug to the vehicle. This trailer is equipped with a 7-pin flat plug. The wire harness
needs slack to allow your vehicle to make turns. Do NOT allow these wires to drag on the roadway.
5. Make sure all lights on the tow vehicle and trailer lights function properly.
6. Ensure all trailer jacks are turned for transport.
7. Ensure all outriggers are secured before transport.

TRAILER PREPARATION
Prepare the trailer for mast deployment.
1. Position the trailer in a location as close to level as possible. Pay attention to
place the solar panelsin a location where it can receive adequate sun
throughout the day. This keeps the batteries charged in order to maintain
proper operation. NOTE: It is best practice to always face the solar panels
towards the equator.
2. Extend all four (4) outriggers located at eachcorner ofthe
trailer. This isdone by loosening the “T” Handles on top of
each outrigger and pulling them out. Rotate each jack
perpendicular with the ground and lock in place.
3. Using the jacks on the outriggers, level the trailer before using. Adjust each jack to achieve proper
leveling. Turning the handles clockwise raises the jacks and counterclockwise lowers the jacks.
4. There are 2 pins on the back ofthe solar panels, attached to2
arms, stabilizing the solar panels for transport. These pins can be
removed to achieve a greater angle for the solar panels. After
removing these 2 pins, pull the spring loaded pin located on the
other stabilizing arm. Have a 2nd person pull the solar panels
outward, until the pin locks into place. IMPORTANT: Make sure
these pins are put into the original position before transport.
Failure touse 2 people could cause serious injury.
5. Located on the lower edgeofthe solar panels, isa retaining pin,
to prevent the solar panels from sliding during transport. Remove
the pin and slide the solar panelshorizontally, and re-insert the
pin. IMPORTANT: Make sure the solar panelsand pin are in
the original position before transport.
MAST DEPLOYMENT
IMPORTANT: Ensure the trailer has been properly leveled before proceeding with extending the mast.
