CAUTIO N!
Towing Req uirem ents — Trailer Brak es
If the trailer weigh s more than 1,000 lbs (454 kg)
load ed, it should have its own brak es, and they
should be of adequate capacity. Failu re to do this
could lead to accelerated brak e lin ing wear, high er
brak e pedal effort, and lon ger stop ping distan ces.

Do not interconnect the hyd rau lic brake system or
vacu um system of you r vehicle with that of the trailer.
This could cause inad equ ate braking and possible
personal injury.
