Safety Chains - Jayco Fold Down Owner's Manual

THE SAFETY CHAIN
There are different safety chain requirements by the various states.
As delivered by your dealer, your vehicle is equipped with chains
to meet SAE standard requirements for maximum gross trailer
weight. AIways have the safety chain (s) attached when towing.
Install them in a manner so they do not restrict sharp turns of the
tow vehicle-trailer combination, but tight enough so they do not
drag on the road.

lifting the trailer by this method may alter the camber in the axle
causing permanent damage.
