Do not tow this unit (LSC) in excess of 45 mph (72 km/hr).
Do not tow unit with a vehicle whose towing capacity is less than the

Steps for determining correct load limit:
• Locate the statement “The weight of cargo should never exceed xxx kg or xxx lbs”

That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity.
Always ensure the wheels, tires, and towbar connectors are in safe operating condition and
tow bar is properly connected before towing.
Chock the wheels of the unit when it is not connected to the tow vehicle.

• all ancillary equipment is stored in a safe and secure manner.
• the brakes and lights are functioning correctly and meet necessary road traffic
requirements.
• breakaway cables/safety chains are properly connected to the towing vehicle.
The unit must be towed in a level attitude in order to maintain correct handling, braking, and
lighting functions. This can be achieved by correct selection and adjustment of the vehicle
towing hitch and, on variable height running gear, adjustment of the drawbar.
