FOUR WINDS INTERNATIONAL
A separate functioning brake system is required for any towed vehicles or trailers
weighing more than 1000 lbs when fully loaded. NEVER exceed the GVWR, or the GAWR
specified on the recreation vehicle certification label. Also NEVER exceed the weight
ratings of the trailer hitch installed on the recreation vehicle. Failure to heed any part of this
warning could result in loss of control of the recreation vehicle and towed vehicle or trailer
and may cause an accident and serious injury. For specific towed vehicle braking
requirements, consult the chassis owners manual.
The recreation vehicle fully loaded and the trailer, or towed vehicle, must not exceed the
recreation vehicle chassis’ Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR). Consult with your
selling dealer to determine the GCWR of the recreation vehicle. Do not exceed the
recreation vehicle Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) or the hitch rating. The tongue
weight, the weight pushing down on the hitch, must not exceed 10% of the hitch capacity.
Always use safety chains between the recreation vehicle and the towed trailer or vehicle.
Cross chains under the trailer tongue and allow slack for turning corners. Connect safety
chains to the trailer or vehicle frame or hook retainers. Never attach chains to the bumper
of a vehicle.
Tow bars or car dollies generally are made to travel in a forward direction only.
Most towing equipment of this type is not designed for backing. Never attempt short back
up distances with a tow bar or tow dolly. Damage to the recreation vehicle, towed vehicle
or towing device will result.
NOTE:
Four Winds International accepts no responsibility for damage to the chassis and other
components resulting from towing loads greater than its designated class specifications.
Also consider the gross combined weight rating of the recreation vehicle before towing a trailer or
vehicle. Towing an object such as a boat and trailer or a vehicle behind the recreation vehicle
results in added driving considerations that you must contend with.
