    Safety ___________________________________ ⚠ WARNING This Owner’s Manual contains safety information and instructions for your trailer. You must read this manual before loading or towing your trailer. You must follow all safety precautions and instructions. Safety Alerts and Signal Words Owner’s Manual that provides general trailer information cannot cover all of the specific details necessary for the proper combination of every trailer, tow vehicle and hitch.

  • Page 13: Safety

    Safety___________________________________ The level of risk is indicated by the following signal words: ⚠ DANGER DANGER - Indicates a hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury. ⚠ WARNING WARNING - Indicates a hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

  • Page 14: Safety

    Safety___________________________________ Improper Sizing of Trailer Tow Vehicle Trailers that weigh too much for the tow vehicle can cause stability problems, which can lead to death or serious injury. The additional strain put on the engine and drivetrain may lead to serious tow vehicle maintenance problems.

  • Page 15: Safety

    Safety___________________________________ Adjust Driving When Towing Trailer When towing a trailer, you will have decreased acceleration, increased stopping distance, and increased turning radius. The trailer will change the handling characteristics of the tow vehicle, making it more sensitive to steering inputs and more likely to be pushed around in windy conditions or when being passed by large vehicles. In addition, you will need a longer distance to pass, due to slower acceleration and increased length.

  • Page 16: Safety

    Safety___________________________________ Trailer Not Properly Coupled to Hitch It is critical that the trailer be securely coupled to the hitch, and that the safety chains and emergency breakaway brake lanyard are correctly attached. Uncoupling may result in death or serious injury to you and to others. ⚠...

  • Page 17: Safety

    Safety___________________________________ Proper Connection of Breakaway Brake If equipped with brakes, your trailer will be equipped with a breakaway brake system that can apply the brakes on your trailer if your trailer comes loose from the hitch. You may have a separate set of instructions for the breakaway brake if the trailer is so equipped.

  • Page 18: Safety

    Safety___________________________________ Worn Tires, Loose Wheels and Lug Nuts Inspect all trailer tires before each tow. If a tire has a bald spot, bulges, cut, cracks, or is showing any cords, replace the tire before towing. If a tire has uneven tread wear, take the trailer to a trailer service center for diagnosis. Uneven tread wear can be caused by tire imbalance, axle misalignment or incorrect inflation.

  • Page 19: Safety

    Safety___________________________________ The proper tightness (torque) for wheel nuts or bolts and tightening sequence is listed in the Inspection, Service and Maintenance section of this manual. Use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts and use the crisscross star pattern sequence. Improper tightening of the lug nuts voids the axle warranty. Wheel nuts or bolts are also prone to loosen after first being assembled.

  • Page 20: Safety

    Safety___________________________________ Unsafe Load Distribution Improper front / rear load distribution can lead to an unstable trailer or poor tow vehicle handling. Poor trailer stability results from tongue weights that are too low, and poor tow vehicle stability results from tongue weights that are too high.

  • Page 21: Safety

    Safety___________________________________ Shifting Cargo Since the trailer “ride” can be bumpy and rough, you must secure the cargo so that it does not shift while the trailer is being towed. ⚠ WARNING A shifting load can result in failure, or to loss of control of the trailer, and can lead to death or serious injury.

  • Page 22: Safety

    Safety___________________________________ ⚠ WARNING Improper electrical connection between the tow vehicle and the trailer will result in inoperable lights and electric brakes and can lead to collision. Before each tow: • Check that the electric brakes work by operating the brake controller inside the tow vehicle. Check that all lights and turn signals work.

  • Page 23: Safety

    Safety___________________________________ It will take practice to learn how to back up a tow vehicle with a trailer attached. Take it slow. Before backing up, get out of the tow vehicle and look behind the trailer to make sure that there are no obstacles. Some drivers place their hands at the bottom of the steering wheel, and while the tow vehicle is in reverse, “think”...

  • Page 24: Safety

    Safety___________________________________ Slow down for bumps in the road. Do not brake while in a curve unless absolutely necessary. Instead, slow down before you enter the curve. Do not drive so fast that the trailer begins to sway due to speed. Generally, never drive faster than 55 m.p.h. Allow plenty of room for passing.

    Tire Safety________________________________ Manufacturers of passenger vehicles and light trucks determine this number based on the vehicle’s design load limit, that is, the greatest amount of weight a vehicle can safely carry and the vehicle’s tire size. The proper tire pressure for your vehicle is referred to as the “recommended cold inflation pressure.” (As you will read below, it is difficult to obtain the recommended tire pressure if your tires are not cold.) Because tires are designed to be used on more than one type of vehicle, tire manufacturers list the “maximum permissible inflation pressure”...
