tightened. Do not tow the trailer if a wheel lug is
missing.

directional (turn) indicators are hooked up and
functioning properly.

vehicle are rated for weight equal to or greater
than the trailer’s gross vehicle weight rating
(GVWR). The GVWR is displayed on the light

damage. Replace or repair if necessary.

up position, the outriggers are contracted, and all

position.
