Do not use brake fluid drained from the brake system to refill the master cylinder reservoir as such fluids containcontaminants from the system that may result in brake failure or costly repairs.Periodic inspection should be made of the electrical connector, wiring, brake lines and hose for the entire brake system to insurethere are no abraded or bare wires, damaged steel lines, or cracked and damaged hoses. During inspection verify that there are noloose or hanging lines or wire that might drag or catch on objects/debris while being towed.Prior to towing, EVERY TIME:• Check the fluid level in the reservoir on the trailer tongue. The fluid level must be maintained with 3/8” to 1/2” below the filleropening. If brake fluid is needed, add only NEW, CLEAN DOT3 Brake Fluid. Use caution when opening the reservoir (removingthe filler cap) to prevent the admission of dirt and/or contaminants into the fluid reservoir.• Check to be certain the breakaway battery is charged and that the breakaway works. This is accomplished by pulling the cableon the breakaway switch. If the vehicle has been parked for extended periods of time, the breakaway battery may be discharged.If that occurs, charge the breakaway batter in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations prior to operation. If thebattery is allowed to discharge in a cold environment there is a possibility of freezing, which could cause damage to the battery.Such damage may not be covered by warranty.Appropriate installation, maintenance and repair procedures are essential for the safe, reliable operation of vehiclebrakes. Anyone who undertakes to maintain or repair vehicle braking systems must establish that they neithercompromise their personal safety nor the vehicle integrity by their choice of methods, tools or parts.OPTIONAL STORAGE COMPARTMENTAn optional storage compartment may be located beneath the towing tongue onsome trailers. This compartment can be used for carriage of tools, extra lug nuts andspare parts. Please note that the compartment is NOT watertight. If this part of thetrailer will be submerged for loading and unloading of the boat, avoid leaving anythinginside that is not water-resistant or could rust. Such conditions are not covered underwarranty!Towing AdvicePRIOR TO TOWING• Be certain that you have a jack and lug wrench that will work on the tow vehicle and the trailer. The same ones may not work onboth, so verify that you are prepared. You don’t want to end up on the side of the road and find that you are not fully prepared.• In addition to the spare tire that can be mounted on the trailer spare tire mount, also have available in your tow vehicle’s storagearea such useful additional items as:• spare breakaway cable metal clips;• extra lug nuts;• wheel chocks (especially important in areasin which there arehilly or mountainous driving conditions);• wheel bearing grease;• marine-grade grease;• spare tie-down straps;• additional brake fluid for the actuator;• a torque wrench to check and ensure the lugnuts are properly torqued;• road flares.Malibu Owners Manual • 2018 • Trailers • Page 5-11 |
