a coupler (pintle or ball-type) (c) .
Licensing
requirements
■
In most states, large trailers must be registered and licensed by the State
Department of Transportation. Before towing, be sure to check licensing
requirements.
■
Drivers towing trailers may be required to carry a commercial driver’s license
(CDL). Check your local and state licensing regulations before towing the
generator.
Coupler
maintenance
■
A film of grease on the coupler will extend coupler life and eliminate squeaking.
Wipe the coupler clean and apply fresh grease each time the trailer is towed.
Towing safety
■
When towing, maintain extra space between vehicles and avoid soft shoulders,
curbs and sudden lane changes. If you have not pulled a trailer before, practice
turning, stopping, and backing up in an area away from heavy traffic.
Do not exceed 55 mph when towing a trailer.
