SAFETY CHAINS

 

Figure 29. Safety Chain Arrangement for a Bumper Pull Trailer (Ball Hitch)

„Visually inspect the safety chains and hooks for wear or damage. Replace worn or damaged safety chains and hooks before towing.

„Attach the safety chains so that they:

A.Cross underneath the coupler. See Figure 29.

B.Loop around a frame member of the tow vehicle or holes provided in the hitch system (but, DO NOT attach them to an interchangeable part of the hitch assembly).

C.Have enough slack to permit tight turns, but not be close to the road surface, so if the trailer un couples, the safety chains can hold the tongue up above the road.

WARNING - Safety Chains Rigging

Improper rigging of the safety chains can result in loss of control of the trailer and tow vehicle, leading to death or serious injury, if the trailer uncouples from the tow vehicle.

•Fasten chains to frame of tow vehicle. DO NOT fasten chains to any part of the hitch unless the hitch has holes or loops specifically for that purpose.

•Cross chains underneath hitch and coupler with enough slack to permit turning and to hold tongue up, if the trailer comes loose.

TRAILER SAFETY GUIDELINES

Breakaway Brake System

If the coupler or hitch fails, a properly connected and work- ing breakaway brake system (Figure 30) will apply the hy- draulic and/or electric brakes on the trailer. The safety chains will keep the tow vehicle attached and as the brakes are applied at the trailer’s axles, the trailer/tow vehicle combina- tion will come to a controlled stop.

Breakaway Cable Surge Brake System

For Dry Prime pump trailers equipped with hydraulic surge brakes, the breakaway brake system includes a brake cable connected to the tow vehicle on one end and to the emer- gency brake lever located on the hydraulic actuator on the other end.

Breakaway Electric Braking System

For Dry Prime pump trailers equipped with an electric brak- ing system, the electric breakaway brake system includes a DC power source, a switch with a pull pin, and a breakaway brake controller.You must periodically charge the battery to keep the breakaway brake system in working order.

WARNING - Brakeaway Cable

An ineffective breakaway brake system can result in a runaway trailer, leading to death or serious injury, if the coupler or ball hitch fails.

Connect the breakaway cable to the tow vehicle; and NOT to the hitch, ball or support.

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.
