MOVING LOADS AND DOING WORK
Improperly loading a trailer may cause loss of control.
Always make sure load is evenly distributed and safely secured on the trailer; an
evenly balanced trailer is easier to control.
Always put the shift lever to L (low range) for hauling a trailer – in addition to pro-
viding more torque, operating in low range helps account for the increased load
on the rear tires.
When stopped or parked, block the vehicle and trailer wheels from possible
movement.
Use caution when disconnecting a loaded trailer; it or its load may topple on you
or others.
When hauling a trailer, respect the maximum tongue weight and towing capacity
indicated on the label affixed to the hitch.
Make sure there is at least some weight on the tongue.
