Driver Pickup Checklist
Verify VIN Tag
Verify the VIN # on the trailer matches what is listed on your paperwork prior to hooking up to the trailer.
The VIN tag is located on the driver side of the frame near the landing gear.
Hooking Up To the Trailer
Ensure when hooking up to the trailer, you are correctly connecting all necessary lines. You can watch a video of the process below.
Watch Now
Air Up Suspension
After hooking up to the trailer and releasing air to the trailer, PUSH IN the system dump control valve.
This is found on the driver side frame rail near the rear fender.
Inspect Wheel Nuts
SmithCo has painted a line on the stud and the nut. Please check that these are aligned at:
- Pick Up
- 50-100 Miles Driven
If the lines have moved, please re-torque as quickly as possible.
Adjust Lift Axles
If the trailer is equipped with lift axles, these can be lifted or dropped with the lift axle controls.
This is found on the driver side frame rail near the rear fender. PULL to raise.
Raise Dolly Legs
Raise the dolly legs using the manual crank handle (found on the driver side of the trailer) prior to moving the trailer.
Important Notes
Only one side of the tub hinges need to be closed. Please do not attempt to close all tub hinges.
Please place the orange box, found at the front of the trailer upon pickup, in a secure location during travel.

Upon Delivery
Be sure to deliver the complete red folder and the enclosed flash drive to the customer.
This contains important information regarding their trailer purchase.
Ensure that the orange box is returned to the customer with the delivery of their trailer.
