Backing Your Trailer
It takes practice to back a trailer successfully. If you are not familiar backing up with a trailer, practice first in an
open area away from obstacles.
Keep the following points in mind:
• Back slowly. Make steering adjustments in small steps.
• Turn the towing vehicle’s wheels opposite the direction you want the trailer to go.
• After the trailer begins moving, turn the towing vehicle to follow it.
• Have a second person stand by to help direct you with hand signals.
