Failure to perform this check can result in a wheel separating from the Yetti and a crash, leading to death
or serious injury
.
Improper Loading
The total weight of the load you put in, plus the empty weight of the Yetti itself, must not exceed
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). If you do not know the empty weight plus the cargo
weight, you must weigh the loaded Yetti at a commercial scale. In addition, you must distribute
the load in the Yetti such that the load on any axle does not exceed the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR). If your Yetti is equipped with a Tire & Loading Information Placard, mounted
next to the Certification / VIN label, the cargo capacity weight stated on that placard is only a
close estimate. The GVWR and GAWR’s are listed on the Certification / VIN label mounted on
the front left side of the Yetti.
Unsafe Load Distribution
Improper front / rear load distribution can lead to poor sway stability or poor tow vehicle
handling. Poor sway stability results from tongue weights that are too low, and poor tow vehicle
stability results from tongue weights that are too high. Refer to Chapter heading
“Loading the
Yetti
” for more information.
In the table below, the second column shows the rule of thumb percentage of total weight of the
Yetti plus its cargo (Gross Yetti
Weight, or “GTW”) that appears on the tongue of the Yetti.
Lug nuts are prone to loosen after initial installation, which can lead to death or serious
injury.
Check lug nuts for tightness on a new Yetti or when wheel(s) have been remounted after
the
first 10, 25 and 50 miles of driving.
WARNING
Improper lug nut torque can cause a wheel separating from the trailer, leading to death
or serious injury.
Be sure lug nuts are tight before each tow
WARNING
An overloaded trailer can result in loss of control of the trailer, leading to death or serious
injury.
Do not exceed the trailer Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR).
Do not load a trailer so that the weight on any tire exceeds its rating.
