Instrucciones de funcionamiento
Once the trailer hitch is installed, you can connect a compatible miniature trailer to your TRX-4M:

- Conectar tráiler: Carefully align the trailer's hitch receiver with the ball hitch on your TRX-4M. Lower the trailer onto the ball hitch until it is fully seated.
- Conexión segura: If your trailer has a locking mechanism, engage it to secure the trailer to the hitch. Ensure the connection is firm and the trailer cannot accidentally detach during operation.
- Operación: Operate your TRX-4M as usual, being mindful of the added length and weight of the trailer. Adjust driving style for turns and inclines.

Solución de problemas
If you encounter issues with your trailer hitch, consider the following:
- Hitch is Loose: Check all mounting screws (long self-tapping screw and two short hex head screws) and tighten them if necessary. Ensure the chassis clamps are correctly positioned.
- Trailer Does Not Connect: Verify that your trailer's hitch receiver is compatible with a ball hitch design. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing a proper connection.
