WARNING
In higher elevations the engine output and gradability may drop so
that it may not be possible for the permissible trailer loads to be
fully utilized in mountainous territory.
So, the permissible trailer loads should be reduced by 10% at every
1,000 m after reached at 1,000 m of altitude.
WARNING
Never exceed the maximum load limits of trailer or trailer towing
equipment and be aware that due to the higher load overheating
might occur in hot days or during continuous uphill driving.
WARNING
Incorrect loading and crosswinds, large trucks passing or road
roughness can cause swaying or trailer separation.
• Adjust ball load by distribution of load in trailer.
• Check by weighing loaded trailer and ball load separately.
• Check the relevant state or territory registration authorities for
the legal maximum towing weight capacities.
TRAILER BRAKES
If the trailer brakes are used, you should follow all instruc-
tions provided by the manufacturer. Never modify the brake
system of your vehicle.
TRAILER LIGHTS
Make sure your trailer is equipped with lights which meet
country and local requirements.
Always check for the proper operation of all trailer lights be-
fore you start to tow.
TIRES
When towing trailers, be sure your tires are properly inflated
to the inflation pressure.
SAFETY CHAINS
Always attach safety chains between your vehicle and the
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. Follow the manufacturer's recom-
mendation for attaching safety chains. Always leave just
enough slack to permit full turning. Never allow safety chains
to drag on the road.
