Reporting Trailer Safety Defects - Generac Power Systems MAGNUM MTT15 Operating Manual

• Towing the unit with water in the tank will adversely affect handling of towing vehicle, specifically
maneuvering corners, accelerating, and braking. Ensure operator has experience with towing unit.
• Maximum recommended towing speeds for the unit are as follows:
With the tank empty, improved road:55 mph (89 km/h)
With the tank full, improved road:45 mph (72 km/h)
With the tank 1/2 full, improved road:45 mph (72 km/h)
Any towing on unimproved roads:20 mph (32 km/h) or less
• Before towing the trailer, check that the weight of the trailer is equal across all tires. A large angle
between the trailer and tow vehicle will cause more weight to be carried by one axle, which could
cause premature wear on the tires and axles and cause potentially unsafe operating conditions. Adjust
the angle of the trailer tongue to keep the trailer as level as possible.
• The trailer is equipped with hydraulic surge brakes or electric surge brakes. Check the operation of
the brakes by braking the vehicle at a slow speed before entering traffic. Both the trailer and the vehicle
should brake smoothly. If the trailer seems to be pushing, check the level in the surge brake fluid
reservoir.

REPORTING TRAILER SAFETY DEFECTS

If you believe your trailer has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately
inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Magnum Power Products
LLC.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation; and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group
of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in an individual
problem between you, your dealer, or Magnum Power Products LLC.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY:1-800-424-9153),
go to http://www.safercar.gov; or write to:
