• Make sure the TRAILER IS LOADED EVENLY from front to rear as well as side to side
and has the correct weight on the hitch. Too much weight on the hitch will cause the rear
of the tow vehicle to drag and may make steering more difficult. Too little weight on the
hitch will cause the rig to fishtail and will make controlling the tow vehicle difficult.
Contact your Pursuit dealer or the trailer manufacturer for the correct weight on the hitch
for your trailer.
• The SAFETY CHAINS must be attached crisscrossing under the coupler to the frame of
the tow vehicle. If the ball was to break, the trailer would follow in a straight line and
prevent the coupler from dragging on the road. Make sure the trailer emergency brake
cable or chain is also installed to the tow vehicle frame.
• Make sure the LIGHTS on the trailer function properly.
• CHECK THE BRAKES. On a level parking area roll forward and apply the brakes several
times at increasing speeds to determine if the brakes on the tow vehicle and trailer are
working properly.
• Make sure the tow vehicle has SIDE VIEW MIRRORS that are large enough to provide
an unobstructed rear view on both sides of the vehicle.
• CHECK THE TIRES and WHEEL BEARINGS.
MAKE SURE YOUR TOWING VEHICLE AND TRAILER ARE IN COMPLIANCE
WITH ALL STATE AND LOCAL LAWS. CONTACT YOUR STATE MOTOR VE-
HICLE BUREAU FOR LAWS GOVERNING THE TOWING OF TRAILERS.
