WARNING -

Trailer

• Never load a trailer with more

weight in the rear than in the
front. The front should be loaded
with approximately 60% of the
total trailer load; the rear should
be loaded with approximately
40% of the total trailer load.

• Never exceed the maximum

weight limits of the trailer or trail-
er towing equipment. Improper
loading can result in damage to
your vehicle and/or personal
injury. Check weights and loading
at a commercial scale or highway
patrol office equipped with
scales.

• An improperly loaded trailer can

cause loss of vehicle control.
