6. Attach the break-away switch cable and
the safety chains to the welded portion of the
hitch or the car's frame, but never to the
removable ball mount. Cross the safety chains
under the hitch.
7. Retract the hitch jack completely for
maximum
ground clearance.
Remove the
dolly wheel and jack pad, and stow them in
the car's trunk, along with leveling jack and
other gear used when stopped. Never tow
your trailer with the jack down or the dolly
wheel on. Check that the fold-away step is up
and that the main door is completely closed
and locked for towing. If it is not locked the
constant vibration of travel may cause it to
open with possible damage.
8. Move the rig ahead about 50 feet and test
the trailer brakes, then check the ground for
forgotten objects. Regularly check the condi¬
tion of your tires, air pressure, and the
tightness of the lug bolts. For specific tire
pressures refer to page 24.
