10.0 HAZARDS AND MAINTENANCE
10.1 Hazards:
listed below. Please be familiar with these hazards and avoid them
when possible.
-
Failure to read instructions or rider error
-
Loss of balance while loading
-
Slippery surfaces (wet, snow and/or icy surfaces are dangerous)
-
Trailer not properly connected to tow vehicle. This is a common and
expensive error causing the trailer to tip up and run into the back of
your tow vehicle and also causing possible fall in the loading
process. This can also cause expensive damage to tow vehicle.
-
Loading a vehicle when under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Always load and unload with the same mental capacity needed for
riding or driving.
-
Improper tongue weight: Your Kendon trailer requires 10%-15% of
total GVWR on the tongue for proper handling in tow. Please ensure
you have adequate tongue weight prior to towing. Contact Kendon at
714.630.7144 if you need assistance measuring tongue weight. If
your Kendon trailer begins to sway side to side while towing,
immediately. Visit

This is not a complete list of all risks. Physical strength, weight of vehicle
and riding skills all vary widely. Only you can determine your comfort
level through safe practice. Kendon wants you safe!
