Inappropriate Cargo
A utility Yetti must not be used to carry certain items, such as people, containers of hazardous substances or containers of
flammable substances.
Inoperable Brakes, Lights or Mirrors
Be sure that the electric brakes, if so equipped, and all of the lights on your Yetti are functioning properly
before towing. Electric brakes and lights on a Yetti are controlled via a connection to the tow vehicle,
generally a multi-pin electrical connector. Check the
Yetti’s tail lights by turning on your tow vehicle
headlights. Check the Yetti brake lights by having someone step on the tow vehicle brake pedal while
you look at Yetti lights. Do the same thing to check the turn signal lights.
If your Yetti has electric brakes, your tow vehicle will have an electric brake controller that sends power to
the Yetti’s brakes. Before towing, you must operate the brake controller while trying to pull the Yetti in
order to confirm that the electric brakes operate. While towing the Yetti at less than 5 mph, manually
operate the electric brake controller in the tow vehicle cab. You should feel the operation of the Yetti
brakes.
Standard mirrors usually do not provide adequate visibility for viewing traffic to the sides and rear a towed
Yetti. You must provide mirrors that allow you to safely observe approaching traffic
.
Hazards From Modifying Your Yetti
Essential safety items can be damaged by altering your Yetti. Even simply driving a nail or screw to hang
something can damage an electrical circuit, LP gas line or other feature.
Before making any alteration, contact your dealer and describe the alteration you are contemplating.
Do not transport people inside the trailer, even if it has living quarters. The transport of
people puts their lives at risk and may be illegal.
WARNING
Do not transport flammable, explosive, poisonous or other dangerous materials in your
trailer.
Exceptions: Fuel stored in proper containers used in trailer living quarters for cooking.
WARNING
Improper electrical connection between the tow vehicle and the Yetti will result in
inoperable lights and electric brakes, and can lead to collision.
Before each tow:
Check the taillights, brake lights and turn signals, check the electric brakes work by
operating the brake controller inside the tow vehicle.
