Starting the Unit
•
DO NOT start a unit in need of repair.
Towing Safety
Towing a trailer requires care. Both the trailer and vehicle
must be in good condition and securely fastened to each
other to reduce the possibility of an accident. Some
states require that large trailers be registered and
licensed. Contact your local Department of
Transportation office to check on license requirements for
your particular unit.
Safe Towing Techniques
•
Practice turning, stopping, and backing up in an
area away from heavy traffic before transporting
the unit.
•
Maximum recommended speed for highway towing
is 65 mph (105 km/h). Recommended off-road
towing speed is 10 mph (16 km/h) or less,
depending on terrain.
•
When towing, maintain extra space between
vehicles and avoid soft shoulders, curbs, and
sudden lane changes.
Reporting Trailer Safety Defects
If you believe your trailer has a defect which could cause
a crash or could cause injury or death, you should
immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Generac
Mobile.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an
investigation. If it finds that a safety defect exists in a
group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy
campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in
an individual problem between you, your GMASD, or
Generac Mobile.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety
Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY:1-800-424-
9153), go to
