enhancing towing safety. The addition of a friction/hydraulic
sway control also dampens sway caused by traffic and cross-
winds and contributes positively to tow vehicle and trailer
stability. Trailer sway control and a weight distributing (load
equalizing) hitch are recommended for heavier Tongue
Weights (TW) and may be required depending on vehicle and
trailer configuration/loading to comply with Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR) requirements.
WARNING!
•
An improperly adjusted Weight Distributing Hitch
system may reduce handling, stability, braking per-
formance, and could result in a collision.
