Weigh t-Distrib utin g Hitch
WARN ING!
A weight-d istribu ting system works by applying lever-
age throu gh spring (load ) bars. They are typ ically used
for heavier load s, to distribu te trailer tongu e weight to
the tow vehicle’s front axle and the trailer axle(s). When
used in accord ance with the manu factu rers’ directions, it
provid es for a more level rid e, offering more consistent
steering and brake control thereby enhancing tow ing
safety. The addition of a friction/ hyd rau lic sway control
also dampens sway caused by traffic and crossw ind s and
contribu tes positively to tow vehicle and trailer stability.
Trailer sway control and a weight distribu ting (load
equ alizing) hitch are recom mend ed for heavier Tongu e
Weights (TW) and may be requ ired depend ing on Vehicle
and Trailer configu ration / load ing to comply with gross
axle weight rating (GAWR) requ irem ents.
An improp erly adjusted Weigh t Distrib utin g Hitch
system may red uce handlin g, stab ility, brak ing per-
form ance, and could resu lt in an accid ent.
Weigh t Distrib utin g System s may not be compatib le
with Surge Brak e Cou plers. Con sult with you r hitch
and trailer manufactu rer or a rep utab le Recreation al
Vehicle dealer for addition al inform ation .
