Driving tips
Safety chains
Trailer brakes
Driving with a trailer
You
should
always
attach
chains
If your trailer weighs more than  the max-
imum trailer weight without  trailer brakes
loaded, then it needs its own  brakes and
they must  be adequate. Be sure  to read
and follow  the instructions  for the  trailer
brakes so youll  be able to install,  adjust
and maintain them properly.
Towing   a   trailer   requires    a   certain
amount of experience. Before setting out
for the open  road, you must get  to know
your  trailer.  Acquaint  yourself  with  the
feel  of  handling   and  braking  with  the
added  weight of  the trailer.  And  always
keep  in  mind  that  the  vehicle  you  are
driving is now a good deal longer and not
nearly  so responsive  as your  vehicle  is
by itself.
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 mov-
ing and then  apply the trailer brake  con-
troller by hand to  be sure the brakes are
working. This lets you check your electri-
cal connection at the same time.
between  your  vehicle  and  your   trailer.
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  manufacturer or by
the trailer manufacturer. Follow the  man-
ufacturers recommendation for attaching
safety chains.  Always leave just  enough
slack  so you  can  turn  with your  trailer.
And, never allow safety chains to drag on
the ground.
•  Dont tap into your vehicle's brake sys-
tem.
WARNING - Trailer brakes
Do  not  use  a  trailer  with  its  own
brakes  unless  you  are  absolutely
certain  that you  have  properly  set
up the  brake system. This  is  not a
task  for  amateurs.  Use  an experi-
enced,  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 work-
ing.
