ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND POTENTIAL CHANGES
We reserve the right to discontinue, change, and improve our products at any time without notice or obligation to the purchaser. The descriptions and specifications contained in this manual were in effect at printing. Equipment described within this manual may be optional. Some illustrations may not be applicable to your machine.

IMPORTANT SAFETY CHECKLIST
Trailers are generally not used everyday. Your trailer may sit for extended periods of time between uses making it very important to check all components thoroughly before each use. Following these simple instructions will maximize the life of your trailer and help you safely transport cargo.

CAUTION! DO NOT ABUSE THE TRAILER: Trailer performance is best if you follow the guidelines set forth in this manual. Do not force the trailer to do a job it is not designed for. Know your trailer; learn its applications and limitations.

  1. Make sure the towing vehicle as well as the hitch are capable of towing the trailer. Check your vehicle owner’s manual for trailering things.
  2. Inspect the trailer and all of its parts before each use.
  3. Check the operation of all lights. Operating lights are mandatory on a trailer.
  4. Check to ensure wheel bolts are tight. Torque to 85-90 ft.-lbs. Re-tighten after the first 50 miles (80km).
  5. Check the tire pressure. Maximum 80 PSI (550 KPA) when carrying the maximum rated load.
  6. Re-pack the wheel bearings every 2,000 miles (3,200km) or a minimum of once every year.
  7. Check that the trailer coupler is fastened securely onto the trailer ball. The trailer ball must be a 2-inch ball.
  8. Make sure the safety chain is attached to the trailer and the towing vehicle.
  9. If your trailer has an optional side kit, make sure all bolts and pins are in place before transporting your trailer.
  10. Do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (G.V.W.R.) which is shown on the trailer serial/certification label.
  11. Balance and secure the load on the trailer. See “Loading Your Trailer” section.
  12. Lubrication of the coupler, springs, and the tilt mechanism should be done periodically to stop corrosion and keep parts moving freely.

DANGER! KEEP CHILDREN AWAY: Be sure children are kept a safe distance from the trailer operating area.
DANGER! NEVER SIT OR RIDE ON THE TRAILER: Serious injury or death could occur.
DANGER! EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN TILTING THE TRAILER: There are many areas of the trailer where injury can occur if used improperly. The trailer may tilt quickly and unexpectedly during the loading and unloading process. The tilt option should not be used for heavy loads.
DANGER! Ramps should be used for loading heavy items.
DANGER! Do not drive with the trailer in the tilted position.
DANGER! Do not load more than one all-terrain vehicle onto this trailer.
DANGER! If the trailer is incorrectly attached to the vehicle, it could pull away from the vehicle and fall off.
DANGER! Secure the trailer to the towing vehicle before transportation. Make sure coupler is locked and the safety chains are attached to the trailer and the vehicle.
DANGER! Secure your cargo into the trailer properly and in compliance to local laws.
DANGER! When driving do not exceed the speed limit. Braking time can be considerably longer when a vehicle is towing a loaded trailer.
DANGER! Any modifications made to the trailer or parts of the trailer will void the trailer warranty and release Marlon Recreational Products Ltd. of any responsibility for damages, injuries or accidents incurred.

LIGHTING & WIRING MAINTENANCE

DANGER! USE ONLY ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES: Consult Marlon at 1 888-277-6960 for the recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause hazards or injuries.

WIRING LEGEND
SYMBOL         COLOR                 DESCRIPTION                                        OPERATION
G Green Wire Passenger Side (Right) Right Signal Brake
B Brown Wire Running Lights Tail Light Marker Yellow Front Side Markers
Y Yellow Wire Driver Side (Left) Left Signal Brake
W White Wire Ground Trailer Ground

NOTE:
Brake light goes out on the side that is signaling. Lower Filament (Brighter light) = Brake & Signal. Higher Filament (Dimmer Light) = Running Lights

TO TEST THE VEHICLE WIRING:
You will need a 12v light tester. Attach the wire clamp of the tester to the ground wire on the vehicle plug. Then touch the tester pin into one of the vehicle plug contacts. Turn on the corresponding vehicle operation i.e. Running Lights. This will illuminate the tester light if the vehicle wiring is correct. Follow this same procedure for the signal and brake lights.

TO TEST THE TRAILER WIRING:
Once you have confirmed that the vehicle trailer plug is operating properly, connect the trailer plug into your vehicle. To proceed to test each of the lights and power leads using your 12v light tester. Follow the wiring legend and diagram to test each corresponding wire for power when the trailer light is not operating.

CAUTION! Always be sure to check your brake, running and signal lights before each use. Make sure that all of your connections are solid and that all wiring is in good condition.
CAUTION! Bare, stripped, or pinched wire will cause a short in the trailer, which will cause the vehicle fuse to blow. A solid ground is required for your lights to work properly. All contacts must be to bare metal. Light covers should be well maintained and kept clean. Be sure that your lights are always visible, not obstructed by your load.

LOADING YOUR TRAILER

  • Distribute the weight evenly.
  • Center the load over the axle, keeping about 10% of the weight on the tongue. (If vehicle wheels are not on a crossbeam you will need to add wood to the floor to support each axle.
  • Center the load from side to side.
  • Always secure your cargo into the trailer properly and in compliance to local laws.

WARNING! Do not build your trailer load higher than 3 feet. Higher loading will affect trailer handling due to increased wind resistance. This may cause violent movements, accidents and serious injury.

WARNING! TRAILER  CAPACITY

  • Never overload your trailer. Each trailer has a maximum payload that should not be exceeded. Overloading your trailer could cause serious damage to your trailer as well as the towing vehicle. Please refer to your trailer serial/certification label located on the same frame of the trailer for capacity details.
  • The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (G.V.W.R.) is the weight of the trailer + the maximum payload the trailer can carry. The trailer weight and the payload must not exceed this weight rating.
  • Be sure that any load carried in your trailer does not extend beyond the frame of your trailer. Never place loads on one side only.

WARNING! TONGUE WEIGHT

  • The tongue weight is 10% of the load (this does not include the weight of the trailer).
  • The load is divided so that 90% of the load is over the axle and 10% is over the tongue.

TRAILER COUPLER

DK2-MFT4X8-Series-Folding-Utility-Trailer- (1)  TO ADJUST COUPLER TO BALL:
Set the coupler and tongue onto the 2-inch trailer ball on your vehicle. Raise the locking lever, push up on the channel lock and turn nut to tighten or loosen the coupler. Proper adjustment is obtained when the coupler is as tight as possible on the ball and the locking lever can still be opened and closed.

CAUTION! Before towing your trailer be sure to check the capacity of your trailer hitch on your vehicle (never exceed this or your trailer’s capacity). The DK2® by Marlon Trailer is equipped with a 2-inch coupler and must be used with 2-inch trailer ball. Make sure that the trailer ball is completely engaged in the coupler ball.

WHEEL BEARING & HUB ASSEMBLY

NOTE: No parts are more critical for the dependable performance of your trailer than the bearings, races, and seals. To ensure that your trailer performs reliably, you should inspect the bearings, races, and seals and re-pack the bearings every 12 months or 3,200km (2,000 miles). This is easily found on the internet by searching “Trailer Wheel Bearings Maintenance”.

  7. Run the yellow/brown wires along the inside of the front cross member to the side running light on the front left (driver) side rail.
  8. Run the green/brown wires along the inside of the front cross member to the side running light on the front right (passenger) side rail.
  9. Connect the wire lead from the two side running lights to the brown wire on each side of the trailer using the quick connects. Insert wire clips along the entire length of the side rails of the trailer to secure the wiring harness.
  10. Run the yellow/brown wires to the left taillight, leaving some excess wire where the frame folds.
  11. Strip approximately 3/4” (19 mm) of insulation off the ends of the wires.
  12. Connect the yellow wire to the yellow wire of the left (driver) taillight.
  13. Connect the brown wire to the brown wire of the left (driver) taillight.
  14. Run the green/brown wires to the right (passenger) taillight, leaving some excess wire where the frame folds.
  15. Strip approximately 3/4” (19 mm) of insulation off the ends of the wires.
  16. Connect the green wire to the green wire of the right (passenger) taillight.
  17. Connect the brown wire to the brown wire of the right (passenger) taillight.
    NOTE: Use dialectric grease on each connector for corrosion prevention.
  18. Turn over the whole trailer assembly so the tires touch the ground. CAUTION! Make sure you get the assistance of 1 or 2 additional people. Do not try to flip the trailer on your own.
  19. Even though the wheels were already mounted to the hubs, you must tighten all the lug nuts to 85-90 ft.-lb. of torque.

STEP 10: COUPLER

  1. Attach the coupler (1) to the coupler tongue top plate (2) using two sets of M12 x 80 hex bolts (4), M12 nuts (6), and M12 washers (5). When installing the front bolt, thread it through the center link of the safety chain (3) to secure the chain (3) to the coupler (1).
  2. Lock the coupler trigger using its locking pin and R-pin.
