1.
Visually inspect the safety chains and hooks for
wear or damage. Replace worn or damaged safety
chains and hooks before towing.
2.
Rig the safety chains so that they attach to the
“safety chain receivers” on the tow vehicle. If you
are not certain of the hitch provisions for receiving
safety chains, contact the hitch manufacturer or
installer. Do NOT attach the safety chains to the
gooseneck ball or its support.
3.
Rig the safety chains so they have sufficient slack
to permit turning, but not too much slack – the
safety chains must keep the gooseneck on the tow
vehicle bed if the trailer uncouples.
^
WARNING
Improper rigging of the safety chains can
result in loss of control of the trailer and
tow vehicle, leading to death or serious
injury, if the trailer uncouples from the tow
vehicle.
Fasten chains to safety chain receivers on
hitch, not to ball.
Have sufficient slack to permit turning and
to keep gooseneck on bed of tow vehicle, if
the trailer comes loose.

1.
Connect the trailer lights to the tow vehicle’s
electrical system using trailer electrical cable.
2.
Check all lights for proper operation. Repair or
replace non-working lights before towing trailer.
3.
Check electric brakes for proper operation using
brake controller mounted in the cab.
^
WARNING
Improper electrical connection between
the tow vehicle and the trailer will result in
inoperable lights and electric brakes, and
can lead to collision.
Before each tow:
• Check that the electric brakes work by
operating the brake controller inside the
tow vehicle.
• Check that all lights and turn signals
work.

If the receiver or hitch fails, a properly connected and
working breakaway brake system will apply the trailer
brakes. The safety chains will keep the tow vehicle
attached and as the trailer brakes are applied, the
trailer/tow vehicle combination will come to a controlled
stop.
Connect the lanyard to the tow vehicle so that the
hydraulic actuator will engage or the electric brake
pullpin will be pulled out before all of the slack in the
safety chains is taken up. Do not connect the lanyard
