The remedy is to inspect the clearance above the tires and cut the floor supports so that there is a 3 inch minimum clearance if needed.

Step 1

Unload the cargo area and empty the fresh and holding tanks. The trailer must be unloaded in order to get an accurate measurement between the tire and the outrigger.

Step 2

Locate the trailer on a level, flat and hard surface. Chock the wheels.

Step 3

Using a reciprocating saw, cut a notch in the bottom side of the floor support located above the tires on the off door side of the unit. Cut the notch to allow 3” of clearance between the tire and the floor support, Figure 1.

 

Step 4

Touch up /spray paint the floor support as needed.
