The Safety Chain - Jayco JAY SERIES Owner's Manual

The Safety Chain

There are different safety chain requirements determined by the various state laws. Your
vehicle is equipped with chains to meet SAE standard requirements for maximum gross
trailer weight. Always have the safety chains attached when towing. Install them as shown
below (Fig. 4) so they do not restrict sharp turns, but tight enough so they do not drag on the
ground.
1. Inspect chains to determine if they are
properly attached to trailer frame.
3. Repeat step 2 with right chain. Slack
for each length should be the same but
not more than necessary to permit the
vehicle to turn at their minimum radius.
WARNING: It is critical to read, understand and follow all instructions
for hitching and towing your trailer. Improper hitching creates the
potential for trailer sway, towing difficulties and the possibility of the
trailer becoming unhitched from the tow vehicle. Failure to properly
hitch the trailer could lead to property damage, personal injury and
death.
