It is the ideal match for MasterCraft boats. The quality, innovation, selection and value of MasterCraft trailers are recognized as superior in the industry. [. . . ] At that time, MasterCraft Trailer Manual · Page 13 it is strongly recommended that the owner not mix radial and bias tires as it may affect the trailer/tow vehicle handling and safety. MasterCraft dealers offer replacement tires; if the owner chooses to go elsewhere, be certain that the replacement tires meet the manufacturer's requirements and integrate with any tires remaining on the trailer. a x l e s a n d l uThe trailer Cequippedi with nTrailer Buddy Axle b r i is at o a utilizing the VAULT bearing protector with specially formulated Hybrid OilTM lubricant. The VAULT combines the benefits of oil and grease, lubricating and protecting the wheel bearings in a sealed pressurized chamber impenetrable by outside elements. The system has a number of unique features not found on conventional trailer axles. every possible leak point on the front and rear of the hub is sealed. The slight (3-6 psi) pressure within the VAULT system generated inside the hub chamber will not damage the inner oil seals. The pressure inside the hub is needed to keep water out of the hub chamber when the hub is submerged underwater during launch and retrieval. Inspection or replenishment of the lubricant is not required as part of the routine maintenance. At ambient temperatures the oil is thick, with a viscosity approaching grease. As the bearing temperature rises during towing, the oil thins out, replenishing the bearings with lubricant and dissipating heat. For optimal performance, only UFP's Hybrid Oil Lubricant should be used in this system. Trailer brakes will automatically apply whenever the tow vehicle's brakes are applied. Stopping (deceleration) force is developed in direct proportion to the stopping force generated by the tow vehicle. The breakaway system actuators will apply the trailer brakes if the trailer becomes completely detached from the tow vehicle while under power. Failure to properly connect the breakaway system prior to towing may result in serious injury or death and/or property damage. The breakaway cable is a line of defense at separation. Before the breakaway cable is pulled, the coupler must become detached from the hitch ball and then the safety chains fail. At this time the breakaway cable is pulled, which applies a braking force to the trailer. Note that the breakaway system is not intended to lock up the trailer brakes after separating from the tow vehicle but rather to apply just enough braking force to keep the trailer from free-wheeling. The breakaway system must be reset manually after it has been activated. DO NOT USE THE BREAKAWAY SYSTEM AS A PARKING BRAKE. A surface rust will build up on the rotor brake surface if the trailer isn't used for a week or more. The brake pads will wipe off the rust in the first few miles of travel. If the trailer has been idle for several months, or it has been frequently submerged in salt water and the MasterCraft Trailer Manual · Page 15 dations and instructions for towing. · Ifthebrakesarehot, beforelaunchingitisagoodideatoallowthebrakestocool first. [. . . ] Possible cause: Remedy: Remedy: Worn out brake shoes or disc brake pads. Possible cause: Replace the brake shoes/pads on both sides of the axles and check the drums/rotors for wear or damage. Replace the shoes and linings if contaminated. Fill the reservoir and bleed the brakes. Replace faulty lines and bleed the brakes. [. . . ]
