This booklet will guide you
through unpacking and
assembling your new Sure-
Trac tilt bed trailer.
Figure 1
Figure 2
Figure 3 Remove the wood blocks and
trailer parts from the bottom
trailer.
Cut the banding holding the
two trailers together. Lift the
top trailer off. Use caution as
fenders and other parts are
packed between the trailers
and can be damaged when
unstacking.

Unbolt the light brackets from
their storage positions.
(Figure 4) You will not re-use
the nut from the light bracket
but you will need the bolt.
Insert the tab into the slot on
the trailer side frame (Figure
5) and slide the bracket to the
rear to fully engage the tab.
Install the bolt you removed
from the light bracket. The
bolt will tighten into the rivet-
nut that is in the side of the
trailer. Insert the grommet
into the frame hole to protect
the wire going through the
side frame. Feed the excess
wire through the bolt hole
that the light bracket was
stored in and insert the
grommet to protect the
folded over wire. (Figure 6)
Repeat this process forthe
other tail light.

Place the axle into the
shackles on the side
frame of the trailer.
(Figure 7) The large
formed eye on the
spring should go to the
front of the trailer.
Hammer the large
serrated shackle bolt
(Figure 8) into the front
shackle until the head
touches the shackle side
(Figure 9). These bolts
are shipped in the
hardware bag.

4

Install the 5/16 x 3-1/4
bolts and lock nuts over
the spring and into the
rear shackles. These bolts
and nuts are also in the
hardware bag. Tighten
these bolts to 15 lbf.
Tighten the front shackle
bolts using an impact
wrench. Be sure to hold
the bolt with a wrench so
that the bolt does not
turn. Spinning this bolt in
the shackle will lead to
axle mount failure.
Tighten the nut until the
shackle almost touches
the spring sides.
Place the tongue into the
tongue channel on the
trailer. And align the
holes. (Figure 12)

Insert the 9/16 x 4 pivot
bolt into the tongue.
Install the nylon lock nut
and tighten until the sides
of the rail start to touch
the tongue.
Insert the front pin and
cotter through the tongue
and the tongue mount.
Feed the trailer wiring
harness through the
tongue and out the front
so that the coupler
mounting bolts keep the
wire from dropping out
the front of the tongue.

Flip the trailer and
support it on sturdy
stands so that you can
finish the assembly.
Remove the 3 self
tapping screws installed
in the tongue. Insert the
jack through the tongue
using caution not to
damage the wiring
harness.
Tighten the 3 self tapping
screws into the pre
drilled holes in the
tongue. Tighten to 10 lbf.
Install both fenders by
bolting through the
fender brackets and into
the preplaced nuts in the
frame. Use the 5/16-18 x
¾ bolts from the
hardware bag. Tighten all
4 bolts on each fender to
15 lbf.

Install the tires and tighten
the lug nuts (from the
hardware bag) to 100 lbf of
torque. Be sure and put the
coned surface of the nut
against the rim. Use a criss
crosspattern to tighten the
lug nuts working up to the
final torque in three stages
of tightening. Re-torque the
lug nuts after 25, 50 and 100
miles of travel.
Install the tire stops on the
front of the trailer using the
hardware removed earlier.
Place a bolt in each corner of
the tire stop and use the
serrated nuts to secure
them. Tighten to 15 lbf of
torque.
Using the 5/16-18 x ¾ bolts
from the hardware bag,
install the stake pockets, 2
per side of the trailer; and
tighten the bolts to 15 lbf.
*Note, if you are installing a
factory side board kit, do not
install the stake pockets. The
sideboard kit instructions
are at the end of this
manual.

When towing the trailer,
the front pin must be
installed with its keeper or
cotter pin through it. This
prevents the trailer from
tipping up.
To tilt the trailer, ensure
that the trailer is secure to
the towing ball of the tow
vehicle. Then, remove the
cotter and pull the pin
from the tongue. The
trailer can now be tilted by
lifting on the front of the
trailer frame.
Trailer shown tilted
without tow vehicle for
demonstration purposes
only. Tilting the trailer
while not attached to the
tow vehicle can be
dangerous and could
result in personal injury.

An optional side board kit
with spare tire mount can
be installed on your
trailer.
Remove all 4 of the stake
pockets, if installed, and
keep the bolts. Place a
side rail onto the trailer,
inside of the fender, with
the upright
reinforcements facing
out. Both side rails are
the same and work on
either side.
Reinstall the bolts
through the uprights and
into the rivet nuts.
Tighten to 15 lbf.

Slide an end gate into the
front and the back of the
side rails. The end gates are
identical and can be used in
the front or the rear.
The end gates canbe nested
into each other and placed
at either the front or the
back of the trailer when
hauling long items that
won’t fit inside the gates.
The slot in the upright of the
sideboard kit is for mounting
a spare tire to the trailer.
Slide the included carriage
bolt into the slot from the
side and pull it away from
the trailer to seat the square
head into the slot.

Figure 28

Place the tire over the bolt
and tighten the included
lock nut to hold the tire in
place against the side of
the trailer.
The stake pockets are
designed to be used as tie
down points. Most
standard 2” straps have a
wire formed hook that fits
inside the pocket by
twisting it in. Roll the strap
hook into place as shown
in Figure 32-33. The hook
will not fall out when
slacked (Figure 34), and it
is located correctly when
tension is applied (Figure
35).
