2.2.6 Proper Connection of Breakaway Brake
If equipped with brakes your trailer will be equipped with a breakaway
brake system that can apply the brakes on your trailer if your trailer
comes loose from the hitch ball for any reason. The breakaway brake
system, including battery, must be in good condition and properly
rigged to be effective.
An ineffective or inoperative breakaway brake system can result in a
runaway trailer, leading to death or serious injury if the coupler or hitch
fails.
The breakaway cable must be connected to the tow vehicle, and NOT to
any part of the hitch.
Before towing the trailer, test the function of the breakaway brake
system. If the breakaway brake system is not working, do not tow the
trailer. Have it serviced or repaired.
2.2.7 Mismatch of Trailer and Hitch
Use of a hitch with a load rating less than the load rating of the trailer can
result in loss of control and may lead to death or serious injury.
Use of a tow vehicle with a towing capacity less than the load rating of
the trailer can result in loss of control, and may lead to death or serious
injury.
Be sure your hitch and tow vehicle are rated for the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR) of your trailer.
