Using the 2018 Brooks Brothers Self - Loading Reel Trailer is easy. First, make sure the hydraulic power pack (the 13Hp Honda GX 390 Gas Engine) is properly fueled and running. You can use the 12,000 lb. 4800 Series Binkley Dropleg Jack to stabilize the trailer when needed. The two hydraulic stabilizing ramps at the rear can be operated independently to assist with loading and unloading. When driving, remember that all wheels have electric brakes for safety. Regarding maintenance, regularly check the tires (215/75R/17.5LRH) for proper inflation and wear. Also, keep an eye on the hydraulic system, including the 20 - gallon reservoir. The trailer is in great condition but normal use may cause scratching and scuffing. If you notice any major issues, it's best to consult a professional. And don't forget about the payment and pickup rules: pay before pickup, and if the price is over $5,000, use a certified check payable to Michigan State University. Pickup is only available locally at the MSU Surplus Store.
