„ALWAYS shutdown engine before transporting.

„Make sure the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than the trailer “gross vehicle weight rating.”

„ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear. neveR tow a trailer with defective hitches, couplings, chains, etc.

„Check the tire air pressure on both towing vehicle and trailer. Trailer tires should be inflated to 50 psi cold. Also check the tire tread wear on both vehicles.

„ALWAYS make sure the trailer is equipped with a safety chain.

„ALWAYS properly attach trailer’s safety chains to towing vehicle.
