After loading, be sure to check that none of the axles are overloaded. 

Tongue Weight as a Percentage of Loaded Yetti  Weight

 

 

Type of Hitch

 

Percentage

 

Ball Hitch (or Bumper Hitch)

 

10

–15%for large Trailers 

6-10% for smaller utility and cargo Trailers 

 

The numbers quoted above are for example purposes only and should be tailored to the specific 
Yetti.  For questions regarding the actual percent of tongue weight for the Yetti, check with the 
manufacturer for specifics. 

Uneven left / right load distribution can cause tire, wheel, axle or structural failure.  Be sure your 
Yetti is evenly loaded left / right. Towing stability also depends on keeping the center of gravity 
as low as possible. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shifting Cargo 

Since the Yetti 

“ride” can be bumpy and rough, you must secure your cargo so that it does not shift while 

the Yetti is being towed. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the door latch is equipped with a deadbolt, use the deadbolt to prevent the door latch from opening. 

 

 

 

 

 

Improper tongue weight (load distribution) can result in loss of control of the trailer, 

leading to death or serious injury. 

Make certain that tongue weight is within the allowable range. 

Be sure to: 

Distribute the load front-to-rear to provide proper tongue weight (see chart); Distribute the 

load evenly, right and left, to avoid tire overload and keep the center of gravity low. 

  

 

 

WARNING

 

 

Shifting cargo can result in loss of control of the trailer, and can lead to death or serious 
injury. 

Tie down all loads with proper sized fasteners, ropes, straps, etc. 

 

WARNING

 

If the door opens, your cargo may be ejected onto the road, resulting in death or serious 

injury to other drivers. 

Always secure the door latch after closing. Use the door’s deadbolt.
