Using Your Trailer
Instructions below are for your safety and the avoidance of accidental
damage to the trailer through misuse. Follow all directions given in this
manual and the manuals for third party products installed.
NOTICE
Connecting to the Tow Vehicle
WARNING – Your coupler MUST be rated for the Gross Vehicle Weight
and be in serviceable condition.
•
The hitch MUST be correctly load rated.
•
Hitch and pin MUST be compatible.
•
All bolts and fittings must be correctly tightened and
serviceable condition.
WARNING
Towing with Trucks and Buses
If you intend to tow your trailer with a truck or heavy commercial vehicle you should fit a hitch system to minimize the
lash effect of the commercial suspension and distance from the rear axle to the tow point. Truck suspension can be
harsh, particularly in off road conditions. The long distance between the axle center and the point of attachment can be
quite long further exacerbating the effect putting stress on components.
Using a shock absorbing hitch will reduce the effect considerably.
