WARNING – Where fitted, the breakaway system lanyard must be connected to
a secure part of the tow vehicle.
•
Do not connect to the safety chain shackle. Connect only to a fixed
structural part of the tow vehicle.
• Ensure the battery system has adequate charge to power the electric
breakaway system in the event of the trailer separating from the tow
vehicle.
• The tow vehicle should supply a maintenance charge to the trailer batteries
while towing to ensure peak battery capacity for the breakaway system
WARNING
Operating the Jockey Wheel
The rated load capacity of a jockey wheel is achieved when the jockey wheel is retracted to its lowest position.
When moving the trailer on the jockey wheel, always lower it as far as possible but still allowing the wheel to swivel as
you steer the trailer.
Loading Your Trailer
Loading your trailer can have an effect on the overall handling of the trailer and tow vehicle combination. Loading affects
tongue weight and balance which must be taken into consideration.
• DO NOT exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or the stated cargo capacity which can be found on the
trailers tire placard or load carrying capacity label.
• Always load cargo and luggage to keep weight even on both sides of the trailer.
• Always load to achieve around 10% of total load as Tongue weight. This is a generally recommended standard to
achieve a safe balance for handling.
