chains.  Always   leave  just   enough
slack so you  can turn with your trail-
er. And, never allow  safety chains to
drag on the ground.
Before  you  start,   check  the  trailer
hitch  and   platform,   safety  chains,
electrical  connector(s),   lights,  tires
and  mirror adjustment.  If  the trailer
has electric brakes, start your vehicle
and trailer moving and then apply the
trailer brake controller by  hand to be
sure the brakes are working.This lets
you check your  electrical connection
at the same time.
Do not use a trailer with  its own
brakes unless you are absolute-
ly certain that you have properly
set up the brake  system. This is
not a task  for amateurs. Use an
experienced,  competent   trailer
shop for this work.
During your  trip, check  occasionally
to  be sure  that  the  load is  secure,
and  that  the  lights  and  any  trailer
brakes are still working.
