Turning and backing up present new problems-plan ahead. It is highly recommended that a spotter be
used when backing up to alert the driver of possible obstacles and prevent jack knifing the trailer.
Towing a trailer will change your turning radius, the longer the trailer the larger radius turn.
Driving Conditions
When driving in conditions where the pavement is wet, icy, snowy, loose gravel, grass and dirt, reduce
speed and do not make any sudden maneuvers. Allow ample distance/time for stopping and changing
lanes. If possible, wait for road conditions to improve before driving.
Follow all state, local and provincial driving and towing laws in the location you are driving in.
Not following your tow vehicle, trailer, and Husky instructions/manuals can result in a fatal accident.
Sway Control
The CL TS system has an integrated sway control feature; do not add a secondary sway control.
Check Your Equipment
Please refer to the MAINTENANCE section. Periodically check the condition of all your towing
equipment and keep it in top condition.
Trailer Loading
Proper trailer loading is very important. Heavy items should be placed close to the floor near the trailer
axle centerline. The load should be balanced side to side and firmly secured in the trailer to prevent
shifting. Tongue weight should be 10-15% of the gross trailer weight for most trailers. Too low a tongue
weight often produces tendency to sway.
Tire Inflation
Unless specified otherwise by the towing vehicle or trailer manufacturer, tires should be inflated to their
manufacturer's towing recommendations.
Towing Vehicle and Trailer Manufacturers Recommendations
Review the owner's manual for your towing vehicle and trailer for specific recommendations, capacities
and requirements.
Passengers in Trailers
Trailers should not be occupied while being towed. Most states enforce this regulation.
Trailer Lights, Turn Signals, Electric Brakes
Always hook up all of the trailer lights, electric brakes and break-away switch connection whenever trailer
is being towed. Also periodically check functionality of all lights before towing and repair any problems
as needed.
Remove Hitch When Not Towing
Remove hitch from receiver on towing vehicle when not towing a trailer to reduce chances of striking
hitch on driveway or other objects, and reduce the chance of parts being stolen.
Modifications
Do not adapt or modify the Bolt Together Weight Distribution System in any way.
