may wish to mark the chain links that match your rig.
Always choose level ground for checking correct hookup.
Note: If you’re tow vehicle is equipped with adjustable load leveling air shocks,
you must load the tow vehicle first with typical luggage and passengers and
bring it back to level. Then attach the trailer and adjust the load leveling bars.
Otherwise the air shocks on the tow vehicle will overload the rear wheels.
Do
not use air shocks to level tow vehicle and trailer after hitching up.
Note: Leveling the trailer end to end, then measuring from the ground to the
inside top of the ball socket determines hitch ball height for the tow vehicle
4. Attach the safety chains to the welded portion of the hitch or tow vehicle’s
frame, but never to the removable ball mount. Cross the safety chains under
the hitch.
5. Remove the jack pad and stow in the tow vehicle’s trunk along with the
leveling jack and other gear used when stopped.

; Check that the foldaway step is up and LOCKED in its store
position and that the main door is completely closed and the dead bolt
LOCKED for towing. If they are not locked the constant vibration of travel
may cause them to open with possible damage.
nOTiCE
; Retract the hitch jack completely for maximum ground clear-
ance. NEVER TOW YOUR TRAILER WITH THE JACK DOWN.
6. Move the rig ahead about 50 feet and test the trailer brakes, then check the
ground for forgotten objects. Regularly check the condition of your tires, air
pressure, and the tightness of your lug nuts.

See Chart

after, check wheel nuts before each trip, after excessive braking, and following
