CAUTION
D
The trailer cargo load should be distri-
buted so that the vertical tow ball load
is 5 to 10% of the total trailer weight,
not exceeding 160 kg.
D
Never load the trailer with more
weight in the back than in the front.
About 60% of the trailer load should
be in the front half of the trailer and
the remaining 40% in the rear.
TOW BARS
D
Use only a tow bar which is recommended
by the tow bar manufacturer and con-
forms to the total trailer weight require-
ment.
D
Follow the directions supplied by the tow
bar manufacturer, and bolt the tow bar se-
curely to the vehicle. Lubricate the tow
ball with a light coat of grease.
D
If removing the tow bar assembly, seal
any mounting holes in the vehicle body
to prevent entry of pollutants such as ex-
haust fumes, dirt, water, etc.
BRAKES AND SAFETY CHAINS
D
Toyota
recommends
trailers
with
brakes conform to applicable federal
and state regulations.
D
Safety chains must always be used
between the towing vehicle and the
trailer.
D
Leave sufficient slack in the chains
for turns.
D
The chains should cross under the
trailer coupling to prevent the trailer
coupling
from
dropping
to
the
ground in case it becomes damaged
or the trailer separates from the ve-
hicle.
D
For correct safety chains proced-
ures, follow the tow bar or trailer
manufacturer’s recommendations.
CAUTION
D
If the total trailer weight exceeds 500
kg, trailer brakes are required.
D
Never tap into your vehicle’s hy-
draulic system as it would lower its
braking effectiveness.
D
Never tow a trailer without using safe-
ty chains securely attached to both
the trailer and the vehicle. If detach-
ment occurs to the coupling unit or
tow ball, there is danger of the trailer
wandering into another lane.
TYRES
D
Ensure that your vehicle’s tyres are cor-
rectly inflated. See page 263 in Section
7--2 and page 283 in Section 8 for instruc-
tions.
