TRANSPORTING YOUR TRAILER
We recommend reading "Transporting Your Trailer Checklist" on page five before
transporting the trailer to any event. The Satellite Suites ADA+2 restroom trailer has
easy to use front connections for operation and maintenance. The unit has one 10,000
pound leaf spring axle to create a smooth ride to and from events. The unit has a
20,000 pound coupler and is adjustable in height to match the towing vehicle. A 7,000
pound tongue jack is included to support the weight of the trailer.
Towing
When towing the restroom trailer it is required that the waste and fresh water tank be
pumped and drained to prevent structural damage or unsafe driving conditions. The
platform and ramp need to be properly secured. When connecting the trailer to a tow
vehicle, attach the safety chains and emergency breakaway cable to the tow vehicle.
Then, connect the 7-Pin electrical cord to the vehicle. Notice that the coupler has an
open/close pin system. Put the pin in the “close” position to lock the trailer.
For safety, the break-away cable will activate the trailer’s emergency brakes if it
becomes disconnected from the tow vehicle. The breakaway switch and brakes can be
tested by pulling cable out of switch at any time to verify the system is functioning.
The optional spare tire is mounted on the rear of the trailer. We
recommend to properly secured your spare tire, tightened all lug
nuts and check tire pressure to 100 psi before travelling to an event.
Always check to be sure the trailer marker lights, tail lights, turn
signals, and brake lights are in proper working order. Do not travel on roads without
working lights.

INITIAL SET UP
Initial set up begins with securing the unit, deploying platform, handrails, and ramp,
plugging in electrical connections and hooking up water lines. See electrical and
plumbing sections after initial set up and deploying platform and rails. There are two
way of setting up your trailer the remote control and the control pad on the interior of the
trailer.
Securing the Unit
On site, first unhook from tow vehicle. Position the trailer on as level a surface as
possible with the cabin doors facing the event. Always check the trailer wheels. Position
the sidewinder jacks, and jack the trailer up so that it is level front to back and side to
side. This can be done visually or with a level. Remember leveling the trailer side to
side downhill will require you to support the downhill tires with a 2 X 8 boards.
Rear of Trailer Side-Winder Jack (Front)
The Satellite Suites ™ ADA+2 trailer has two 7,000 pound side-winder jacks located in
the front of the unit. This is designed to keep the trailer stable and secure when in use.

it goes to one position retract or extend. At the back of the trailer, extend one Jack at a
time. The jacks must be high enough in the extended position in order to unpin the
axles to lower it to the ground. Remember, the jacks must be high enough to safely
unpin the axles. Once you have deployed the first jack then proceed to the next jack.
On the ramp side, raise the right jack to take pressure off axle. We recommend the
following step by step instructions before operating the trailer.
