14. Check that the frames of both the
trailer and tow vehicle are level. Set
the spring bar length or adjust the
height of the hitch ball as required to
level the frames.
IMPORTANT
Do not transport trailer unless the frame
is level. A frame that is not level loads
the axles unevenly and reduces vehicle
sway stability.
15. Review and follow the sway control manufactur-
ers installation and adjustment instructions.
Always use this system to minimize sway while
travelling.
16. Connect both safety chains by crossing them
under the hitch and attaching to a suitable
anchor on the tow vehicle. Secure by installing
the couplers through a link in the chain. Select
a link that keeps chain as short as possible and
yet long enough to allow sharp turns without the
chain binding. Keep both chains the same
length to minimize binding. Tighten coupler bolt
to secure to chain link.
