Safety chains
Trailer brakes
Loading the trailer
You
should
always
attach
chains
If your trailer is equipped with a braking
system, make sure it conforms to your
country’s regulations and that it is prop-
erly installed and operating correctly.
The weight distribution between the car
and trailer should be balanced. Make
sure that the load in the trailer is equally
distributed and it is not front-heavy or tail-
heavy.
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.
If your trailer weight exceeds the maxi-
mum allowed weight without trailer
brakes, then the trailer will also require its
own brakes as well. Be sure to read and
follow the instructions for the trailer
brakes so you’ll be able to install, adjust
and maintain them properly.
The heavy load in the trailer should be
placed above the axle or as close as pos-
sible to the axle. And, secure loads prop-
erly on the trailer.
Instructions about safety chains may be
provided by the hitch manufacturer or by
the trailer manufacturer. Follow the man-
ufacturer’s 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.
Tire pressure
• Do not tap into or modify your vehicle's
brake system.
Follow the trailer manufacturer’s tire
pressure recommendations for the trailer
tires.
WARNING - Trailer brakes
When towing, inflate tires in vehicle to
the maximum permissible pressure refer-
ring to the tire pressure label.
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.
