TOWING EQUIPMENT OWNERS
Make sure all operators of your equipment read and understand this information before towing. Save for reference. This
will help you properly use and maintain your towing equipment. Refer to owner's manuals for your tow vehicle, trailer and
other parts of your towing system. Learn the capabilities and limitations of each part. GROSS TRAILER WEIGHT and
VERTICAL LOAD are the two most important items to consider.
THESE WEIGHTS MUST NEVER EXCEED THE LOWEST RATING OF ANY PART OF YOUR TOWING SYSTEM.
GROSS TRAILER WEIGHT is the weight of the trailer plus cargo. Measure GROSS TRAILER WEIGHT by putting the fully
loaded trailer on a vehicle scale. VERTICAL LOAD is the downward force exerted on the ball by the trailer coupler. Use a
vehicle scale to measure VERTICAL LOAD with the fully loaded trailer on a level surface and the coupler at normal towing
height.
TRAILER COUPLERS
The coupler should be smooth, clean and lightly lubricated. Adjust per coupler manufacturer's instructions.
SAFETY CHAINS
Connect safety chains properly EVERY TIME YOU TOW. Attach securely through the chain loops provided so they can not
bounce loose. Leave only enough slack to permit full turning. Too much slack may prevent chains from maintaining control
if other connections separate.
TRAILER LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, ELECTRIC AND BREAKAWAY SWITCH CONNECTIONS
Make these safety-critical connections EVERY TIME YOU TOW, no matter how short the trip. Check operation, including
electric brake manual control, before getting on the road.
TIRE INFLATION
Check often. Follow tow vehicle and trailer manufacturer's recommendations.
CHECK YOUR EQUIPMENT/REPLACE WORN PARTS
Check ball, coupler, chains, and all other connections EVERY TIME YOU TOW. Re-check at fuel and rest stops.
NO PASSENGERS IN TRAILER!
NEVER allow people in the trailer while towing, under any circumstances.
TRAILER LOADING
Place heavy objects on the floor ahead of the axle. Balance the load side-to-side. Secure it to prevent shifting. NEVER load
the trailer rear heavy. LOAD THE TRAILER HEAVIER IN THE FRONT, BUT NOT GREATER THAN TONGUE WEIGHT
RATING OF THE HITCH.
DRIVING
The additional weight of a trailer affects acceleration, braking and handling. Allow extra time for passing, stopping, and
changing lanes. A gooseneck trailer requires a large turning radius as the trailer tracks to the inside of turns. Severe
bumps can damage your towing vehicle, hitch and trailer. Drive slowly on rough roads. STOP AND MAKE A THOROUGH
INSPECTION IF ANY PART OF YOUR TOWING SYSTEM STRIKES THE ROAD. CORRECT ANY PROBLEMS
BEFORE RESUMING TRAVEL.
