Trailer loading: Proper trailer loading is your first-line defense against dangerous instability and sway. Heavy items should be placed on
the floor in front of the axle. The load should be balanced side-to-side and secured to prevent shifting. Tongue weight should be about
10-15 percent of gross trailer weight for most trailers. Too low a percentage of tongue weight can cause sway. Load the trailer heavier in
front.
3.
The handle (5) is an on/off device. The bolt (7) below is for adjustment only.
4.
When towing during slippery conditions such as wet, icy, or snow-covered roads or on loose gravel, turn on/off handle (5)
counterclockwise until all tension is removed from unit. Failure to do so could prevent tow vehicle and trailer from turning properly.
5. `
Do not speed up if sway occurs. Sway increases with speed. Do not continue to operate a swaying vehicle. Check trailer loading, sway
control adjustment, and all other equipment, until the cause of sway has been determined and corrected.
6.
Never paint or lubricate slide bar (6).
