Connecting the Breakaway
The breakaway lanyard is connected to a simple switch on the drawbar. When connecting the lanyard to the tow
vehicle it should be connected to a solid part of the vehicle. Do not incorporate its connection with the safety
chains.
Connecting the Safety Chains
Chains should be crossed over and connected with suitable rated shackles. Ensure they are connected in a way
to prevent them dragging on the road but not too tight as to restrict the articulation of the vehicle and trailer
combination.
Connecting the Electrics
When connecting ensure the electric cables to your tow vehicle cannot drag on the road or foul the coupling. If
necessary, use zip ties or like keep them neat and safe from damage.
