Service Safety
This unit uses high voltage circuits capable of causing
serious injury or death. Only a qualified and licensed
electrician should troubleshoot or repair problems
occurring in this equipment.
•
Before servicing the unit, verify the control power
switch and circuit breakers are OFF (O), and the
negative (-) terminal on the battery is discon-
nected.
DO NOT perform even routine service (oil/
filter changes, cleaning, etc.) unless all electrical
components are shut down.
•
ALWAYS use extreme caution when servicing this
unit in damp conditions. Do not service the unit if
skin or clothing is wet. Do not allow water to collect
around the base of the unit.
•
DO NOT wash the unit with high pressure hoses,
power washers, or steam cleaners. Water may col-
lect in the unit, causing damage to electrical parts.
•
Replace all missing and hard to read decals.
Decals provide important operating instructions
and warn of dangers and hazards.
•
Only use mild soap and water to clean the lens
covers. Other chemicals may damage the lens
covers.
Towing Safety
Towing a trailer requires care. Both the trailer and vehicle
must be in good condition and securely fastened to each
other to reduce the possibility of an accident. Some states
require that large trailers be registered and licensed.
Contact your local Department of Transportation office to
check on license requirements for your particular unit.
Hitch and Coupling
•
Verify the hitch and coupling on the towing vehicle
are rated greater than or equal to the trailer's gross
vehicle weight rating (GVWR).
•
DO NOT tow trailer using defective parts. Inspect
the hitch and coupling for wear or damage.
•
Before towing the trailer, verify the weight of the
trailer is equal across all tires. On trailers with
adjustable height hitches, adjust the angle of the
trailer tongue to keep the trailer as level as
possible.
Running Lights
Verify directional and brake lights on the trailer are con-
nected and working correctly.
Wheels and Tires
•
Inspect trailer tires for wear and correct inflation.
•
Verify wheel lug nuts are present and tightened to
the specified torque.
Safe Towing Techniques
•
Practice turning, stopping, and backing up in an
area away from heavy traffic prior to transporting
the unit.
•
Maximum recommended speed for highway towing
is 45 mph (72 km/h). Recommended off-road tow-
ing speed is 10 mph (16 km/h) or less, depending
on terrain.
•
When towing, maintain extra space between vehi-
cles and avoid soft shoulders, curbs, and sudden
lane changes.
