TRAILER SAFETY GUIDELINES

Attaching Safety Chain

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 uncouples, 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.

Connecting Trailer Lights

Connect the trailer lights to the tow vehicle’s electrical system using the electric connectors at the front of the trailer (tongue). Reference the wiring diagram shown in the trailer wiring diagram section of this manual. Before towing the trailer check for the following:

■Running lights (turn on tow vehicle headlights).

■Brake Lights (step on tow vehicle brake pedal).

■Backup Lights (place tow vehicle gear shift in reverse).

■Turn Signals (activate tow vehicle directional signal lever).

WARNING — Electrical Connections

Improper electrical connection between the tow vehicle and the trailer will result in inoperable lights and electric brakes, and can lead to collision.

Before each tow:

∙Check that the taillights, brake lights and turn signals work

∙Check that the electric brakes work by operating the brake controller inside the tow vehicle.

Uncoupling the Ball Hitch

Follow these steps to uncouple ball hitch from tow vehicle:

■Block trailer tires to prevent the trailer from rolling,before jacking the trailer up.

■Disconnect the electrical connector.

■Disconnect the breakaway brake switch cable. Promptly replace the pullpin in the switchbox.

■Before extending jackstand, make certain the ground surface below the jackstand foot will support the tongue load.

■Rotate the jackstand handle (or crank) clockwise. This will slowly extend the jack and transfer the weightof the trailer tongue to the jack.
