STARTING AND OPERATION
This manual covers most, but not all, of the features of your trailer. Separate owner's manuals
for the Honda engine and Dexter axles are also provided. Be certain you have full working
knowledge of all features before operating your trailer. Contact your LARSON Authorized Sales
Representative if you have questions or incomplete knowledge of your equipment's operation.
BEFORE STARTING
1. Check all fluid levels.
Oil in the engine.Note that the Honda engine has a low-oil shut off sensor.
Gasoline in the engine.Turn the gasoline on.
Oil bath bearing on the axles. The oil should be visible in the plastic hub on the axle. If
not, add more oil.
Hydraulic fluid in tank. The hydraulic fluid should be visible in the window on the side of
the tank. If not, add more hydraulic fluid.
WARNING!Always check the hydraulic fluid before starting the engine.
WARNING!Always make sure the hydraulic valve is open before starting the engine. The
valve is in the open position when the handle is in line with the hose. Starting the engine with
the valve closed will damage the hydraulic pump. This valve should remain open unless you are
performing maintenance on the pump.
2. Check recommended air pressure in all tires
8" reel-turning tire: 20-25 psi
4" figure-8 tire: 6-8 psi
235/75R17.5 tires: 125 psi
3. Check the lights and brake system.
4. Ensure that the trailer is properly lubricated with all-purpose grease.Grease zerks are
located on the lower links, bushings, reel turning rack, reel lifting rack, hydraulic valve tray
pivot, and each end of the hydraulic lift cylinders. See the Lube Chart on the following page to
help locate these items.
