TRAILER GUIDELINES
Attaching Safety Chain
Visually inspect the safety chains and hooks for wear or
damage. Replace worn or damaged safety chains and
hooks before towing.
Attach the safety chains so that they:
• Cross underneath the coupler. See Figure E.
Figure E. Attaching Safety Chain (Ball Hitch)
• Loop around a frame member of the tow vehicle or holes
provided in the hitch system (DO NOT attach them to
an interchangeable part of the hitch assembly).
• Have enough slack to permit tight turns, but not be
close to the road surface, so if the trailer uncouples, the
safety chains can hold the tongue up above the road
.
Connecting Trailer Lights
Connect the trailer lights to the tow vehicle’s electrical
system using the electric connectors at the front of the
trailer (tongue). Refer to the wiring diagram shown in the
trailer wiring diagram section of this manual. Before towing
the trailer check for the following:
Running lights (turn on tow vehicle headlights).
Brake Lights (step on tow vehicle brake pedal).
CROSS BOTH

WARNING
Improper rigging of the safety chains can result in
loss of control of the trailer and tow vehicle, leading
to death or serious injury, if the trailer uncouples from
the tow vehicle.
• Fasten chains to frame of tow vehicle. DO NOT fasten
chains to any part of the hitch unless the hitch has
holes or loops specifi cally for that purpose.
• Cross chains underneath hitch and coupler with
enough slack to permit turning and to hold tongue
up, if the trailer comes loose.
Backup Lights (place tow vehicle gear shift in reverse).
Turn Signals (activate tow vehicle directional signal
lever).
Uncoupling the Ball Hitch
Follow these steps to uncouple ball hitch from tow
vehicle:
Block trailer tires to prevent the trailer from rolling, before
jacking the trailer up.
Disconnect the electrical connector.
Disconnect the breakaway brake switch cable. Promptly
replace the pullpin in the switchbox.
Before extending jackstand, make certain the ground
surface below the jackstand foot will support the tongue
load.
Rotate the jackstand handle (or crank) clockwise. This
will slowly extend the jack and transfer the weight of the
trailer tongue to the jack.
WARNING
Improper electrical connection between the tow vehicle
and the trailer will result in inoperable lights and electric
brakes, and can lead to collision.
Before each tow:
• Check that the taillights, brake lights and turn signals
work.
• Check that the electric brakes work by operating the
brake controller inside the tow vehicle.
