DO NOT TOW MULTIPLE TRAILERS
• Do not attempt to tow any type of trailer behind another trailer. Towing
multiple trailers may cause severe instability, loss of control and/or
structural failure, and may result in vehicle accident, property damage
and personal injury. Towing multiple trailers is illegal in many jurisdictions.
TOWING TIPS
•
DRIVING:
Good habits for normal driving need extra emphasis when
towing. The additional weight affects acceleration and braking, and extra
time should be allowed for passing, stopping, and changing lanes. Signal
well in advance of a maneuver to let other drivers know your intentions.
Severe bumps and badly undulating roads can damage your towing
vehicle, hitch, and trailer, and should be negotiated at a slow steady speed.
IF ANY PART OF YOUR TOWING SYSTEM “BOTTOMS” OUT, OR IF YOU
SUSPECT DAMAGE MAY HAVE OCCURRED IN ANY OTHER WAY, PULL
OVER AND MAKE A THOROUGH INSPECTION. CORRECT ANY PROBLEMS
BEFORE RESUMING TRAVEL.
CHECK YOUR EQUIPMENT
• Periodically check the condition of all your towing equipment and keep it
in top condition.
TRAILER LOADING
• Proper trailer loading is important. Heavy items should be placed close to
the floor near the trailer axle. The load should be balanced side-to-side and
firmly secured to prevent shifting. Tongue weight should be about 10–15
percent of the gross trailer weight for most trailers. Too low a percentage of
tongue weight will often produce a tendency to sway.
TIRE INFLATION
• Unless specified otherwise by the towing vehicle or trailer manufacturer,
tires should be inflated to their maximum recommended pressure.
TOWING VEHICLE AND TRAILER MANUFACTURERS’ RECOMMENDATIONS
• Review the owners’ manuals for your towing vehicle and trailer for specific
recommendations, capacities, and requirements.
PASSENGERS IN TRAILERS
• Trailers should NOT be occupied while being towed, under any
circumstances.
TRAILER LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS AND ELECTRIC BRAKES
• Always hook up trailer lights, turn signals, electric brakes and break-away
switch connection (if so equipped) even for short trips.
REMOVE HITCH WHEN NOT TOWING
• Remove hitch from towing vehicle receiver when not towing to reduce
chance of striking hitch on driveway ramps or other objects and minimize
damage in the event of a rear-end collision.
