particular regulations. Only a safety chain (not an elastic or nylon/plastic tow strap)
should be used to retain the connection between the towing and towed machines in the
event of separation of the primary attaching system.

Install the safety chain by crossing the chains under the tongue and secure to the draw
bar cage or hitch or bumper frame.
