Safety
Chains
You should always attach chains between your vehicle
and your trailer. Cross the safety chains under the tongue
of the trailer
so
that the tongue
will
not drop to the road
if it becomes separated from the hitch. Instructions
about safety chains may be provided by the hitch
manufacturer or by the trailer manufacturer. Follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation for attaching safety
chains and do not attach them to the bumper. Always
leave just enough slack
so
you can
turn
with your rig.
And, never allow safety chains to drag on the ground.

Does your trailer have its own brakes?
Be sure to read and follow the instructions for the trailer
brakes
so
you’ll be able to install, adjust and maintain
them properly. And because you have anti-lock brakes,
do not try to tap into
your
vehicle’s brake system.
If
you
do, both systems won’t work well, or at all.
