slack for turning.
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Before towing the trailer, make sure:
1. The trailer lights and brakes are working
properly. If the trailer's electrical equipment
is not functioning properly, it may be due to
incompatible or crossed wiring from the tow
vehicle to the trailer.
2. The trailer brakes apply when the brake pedal
is depressed.
3. The breakaway brake system activates and
applies the brakes when the cable key is
pulled from its socket.
