2.1 GENERAL SAFETY
1. The most important safety feature on this trailer
is the operator/user. It is the operators'/users'
responsibility to read, understand and follow all
safety and operating instructions in the trailer,
appliance and system manuals. Most acci-
dents can be prevented.
2. A person who has not read and understood all
operating and safety instructions is not quali-
fied to operate/use this trailer. An untrained or
uninformed operator/user exposes themselves,
passengers and other drivers/vehicles/property
to possible serious injury or death and property
damage.
3. Do not modify the trailer in any way. Unau-
thorized modification may impair the function
and/or safety and could affect the safety and
life of the trailer.
4. Be sure the trailer is loaded in a way to provide
the required weight on the hitch of the trailer.
An improper hitch weight can lead to poor
handling characteristics when travelling or
cause instability on the highway.
5. Be sure the hitch is secured to the towing
vehicle with a mechanical retainer, always
attach the safety chains and connect the cable
to the breakaway switch pin.
6. Review the location, function and operation of
the escape window with everyone who will be
using the trailer. Inspect the locking mecha-
nism.
7. Establish a monthly fire extinguisher inspection
program to keep the extinguisher in good
condition and fully charged. Inspect the
extinguisher again prior to a vacation or trip.
8. Ensure that the specifications of your tow
vehicle allow for the safe trailering of your
Recreational Vehicle. Overloading the tow
vehicle can cause handling and braking
problems.
