Towing Safety Precautions

CAUTION :

Check with your county or state safety towing regulations department before towing your generator. Vehicle towing codes and regulations can vary from state to state.

To reduce the possibility of an accident while transporting the generator on public roads, always make sure the trailer (Figure 4) and the towing vehicle are in good operating condition and both units are mechanically sound.

The following list of suggestions should be used when towing your generator:

■Make sure the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than the trailer "gross vehicle weight rating" (GVWR).

■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 the towing vehicle and the trailer. Also check the tire tread wear on both vehicles.

■ALWAYS make sure the trailer is equipped with a "Safety Chain".

■ALWAYS attach trailer's safety chain to bumper of towing vehicle.

■ALWAYS make sure the vehicle and trailer directional, backup, brake, and trailer lights are connected and are working properly.

■The maximum speed (unless otherwise posted) for highway towing is 45 MPH. Recommended off-road towing is not to exceed 10 MPH or less, depending on type of terrain.

■Place chocked blocks underneath wheel to prevent rolling, while parked.

■Place support blocks underneath the trailer's bumper to prevent tipping, while parked.

■Use the trailer's hand winch to adjust the height of the trailer, then insert locking pin to lock wheel stand in place, while parked.

■Avoid sudden stops and starts.This can cause skidding, or jackknifing. Smooth, gradual starts and stops will improve gas milage.

■Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.

■Remove wheel stand when transporting.

■DO NOT transport generator with fuel in tank.
