Safe Towing Techniques; Reporting Trailer Safety Defects - Generac Mobile MMG35DF4 Owner's Manual

Introduction and Safety
DO NOT tow trailer using defective parts. Inspect
•
the hitch and coupling for wear or damage.
Connect safety chains in a crossing pattern under
•
the tongue.
Before towing the unit, verify the weight of the
•
trailer is equal across all tires. On trailers with
adjustable height hitches, adjust the angle of the
trailer tongue to keep the trailer as level as
possible.

Safe Towing Techniques

Practice turning, stopping and backing up in an
•
area away from heavy traffic prior to transporting
the unit.
Maximum recommended speed for highway towing
•
is 45 mph (72 km/h). Recommended off-road
towing speed is 10 mph (16 km/h) or less,
depending on terrain.
When towing, maintain extra space between
•
vehicles and avoid soft shoulders, curbs and
sudden lane changes.

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 Generac
Mobile.
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 GMASD, or
Generac Mobile.
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:
