Important Trailer Safety Information

Safety Chains

Listed in the chart below are the different class sizes of 
safety chains and the rated load each chain must be 
capable of withstanding.

WARNING: Failure to properly attach safety chains 
between the trailer and tow vehicle can result in a 
runaway trailer.

WARNING: To avoid accidents, before trailering:

Hitch only to ball size marked on coupling.

Ball clamp must capture ball and lever or hand 
wheel is fully clamped.

Cross safety chains under coupling.

Allow only enough slack for turns.

The safety chains on your trailer are an added 
insurance that it will not become detached from the tow 
vehicle. All safety chains are provided with an added 
clasp to keep them from becoming accidentally 
detached from the tow vehicle. Your trailer hitch on the 
tow vehicle should have two attaching holes or rings for 
attaching the safety chains, preferably one on each 
side of the ball hitch. Crisscross the chains under the 
tongue, the chain on the left side of the trailer tongue 
attached to the right side of the ball hitch, the chain on 
the right side of the trailer tongue attached to the left 
side of the ball hitch.

This prevents the trailer tongue from dropping to the 
road should the coupler or ball hitch fail. The chains 
should be rigged as tight as possible with just enough 
slack to allow tight turns to be made. This can be 

accomplished by twisting the chain hook in a clockwise 
or counterclockwise direction thus twisting the link 
spacing and making the chain shorter. Also by keeping 
your chains as short as possible you prevent them from 
dragging on the road and wearing the chain links. If for 
any reason you find it necessary to replace a safety 
chain, use only original equipment.

Load-Carrying Capacity

Located on the front left-hand side of the frame, (either 
the inside or the outside) is the VIN (Vehicle Identifica-
tion Number) tag. It will show the GVWR (Gross Vehicle 
Weight Rating) which is the maximum load that can be 
applied to the tires on the trailer. The GVWR and the 
carrying capacity of the trailer are based on the tire size 
installed on the trailer.

The GVWR is the maximum carrying capacity of the 
trailer with its respective tires. It may not necessarily 
equal the total GVWR of the trailer less the empty 
weight of the trailer because there may be another 
controlling factor such as frame strength that reduces 
the carrying capacity to what is listed on the VIN tag.

The tire label will list the tire size that was installed on 
the trailer as original equipment when it was sold to 
you, the consumer. It also lists the maximum carrying 
capacity of the trailer.

IMPORTANT: The total weight of the load must 
never exceed the weight of cargo listed on the tire 
label and/or the maximum load carrying capacity 
listed on the VIN tag on your trailer. The GVWR 
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) listed is the 
maximum total weight of the trailer with accesso-
ries and all cargo allowable to be carried on the 
tires that are installed on the trailer.

WARNING: Fishtailing caused from improper 
tongue weight on the tow vehicle hitch ball can 
cause loss of control of the tow vehicle and 
resulting serious injury or property damage.
