Instruction Manual

Allow more time for accelerating, stopping and maneuvering. Slow down well in
advance of sharp curved, obstacles, or lane changes and before starting down
hills.
If vehicle combination sways or seems unstable, gradually slow down, pull off the
road to a safe location, and inspect all connections. Instability increases with
speed, and you may have to tow at a lower speed. Discontinue towing if
instability persists. A combination that is stable and easy to control at low speed
may be unstable at a higher speed. Stability decreases when going downhill.
Start downhill slowly and maintain a low speed.
Do not make sharp turns from a complete stop.
Reduce speeds on rough roads.
Special instructions for using a pickup truck or van as the towing vehicle
Some step bumpers restrict turning. Use extra caution. Turning too sharply can
damage the tow bar, the hitch ball, and the bumper.
