BEFORE TOWING
1. Ensure all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound.
Note: Never tow with worn or damaged parts.
2. Attach trailer securely to safety chains loops.
3. Maintain adequate tongue load to properly control the trailer (approximately 10%) not to exceed ratings.
4. For off-road applications reduce the rated capacities by 25%.
5. Support the rear of trailer to avoid load shift when loading or unloading a trailer coupled to the tow vehicle.
6. Clean and lubricate moving parts regularly to ensure proper function.
WARNING!!
1. Vehicle performance (braking, handling, acceleration, turning radius) can be drastically affected by towing a trailer.
Allow additional time / space for stopping, changing lanes, passing and turning.
2. Do not tow more than one trailer at a time.
3. Severe bumps can damage your towing system. Avoid or drive slowly over rough terrain.
4. Do not damage the latch. Be particularly careful with the drawbar when coupling and uncoupling.
