Driving your vehicle

Safety chains

You should always attach chains

between your vehicle and your trail-

er. Cross the safety chains under the

tongue of the trailer so that the

tongue will not drop to the road if it

becomes separated from the hitch.

Instructions about safety chains may

be provided by the hitch manufactur-

er or by the trailer manufacturer.

Follow the manufacturer’s recom-

mendation for attaching safety

chains. Always leave just enough

slack so you can turn with your trail-

er. And, never allow safety chains to

drag on the ground.

Trailer brakes

If your trailer is equipped with a brak-

ing system, make sure it conforms to

your state’s regulations and that it is

properly installed and operating cor-

rectly.

If your trailer weight exceeds the

maximum allowed weight without

trailer brakes, then the trailer will also

require its own brakes as well. Be

sure to read and follow the instruc-

tions for the trailer brakes so you’ll be

able to install, adjust and maintain

them properly.

• Don’t tap into or modify your vehi-

cle's brake system.

WARNING - Trailer

brakes

Do not use a trailer with its own

brakes unless you are absolute-

ly certain that you have proper-

ly set up the brake system.This

is not a task for amateurs. Use

an experienced, competent

trailer shop for this work.
