Hitches
Safety
Chains
You should always attach chains between your vehicle
and your trailer. Cross the safety chains under the tongue
of
the trailer
so
that the tongue will not drop
to
the road
if
it
becomes separated from the hitch. Instructions
about safety chains may be provided by the hitch
manufacturer or by the trailer manufacturer. Follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation for attaching safety
chains and do not attach them
to
the bumper. Always
leave just enough slack
so
you
can turn with your rig.
And, never allow safety chains to drag on the ground.
It’s important to have the correct hitch equipment.
Crosswinds, large trucks going by, and rough roads are
a
few reasons why
you’ll
need the right hitch. Here are
some rules to follow:
0
If
you’ll
be pulling
a
trailer that,
when
loaded, will
weigh more than
2,000
pounds
(900
kg), be sure to
use a properly mounted, weight-distributing hitch
and sway control
of
the
proper size. This equipment
is very important for proper vehicle loading and
good handling when you’re driving.

Will you have
to
make any holes in the body
of
your
vehicle when
you
install a trailer hitch?
If
you
do,
then be sure to seal the holes later when
you
remove
the hitch. If you don’t seal them, deadly carbon
monoxide (CO) from your exhaust can get into your
vehicle (see “Carbon Monoxide”
in
the
Index). Dirt
and water can,
too.
0
The bumpers
on
your vehicle are
not
intended for
hitches.
Do
not attach rental hitches or other
bumper-type hitches
to
them. Use only a
frame-mounted hitch that does not attach
to
the
bumper.
Trailer Brakes
If your trailer weighs more than
1,000
pounds
(450
kg)
loaded, then
it
needs
its
own brakes
--
and they must be
adequate. Be sure to read and follow
the
instructions for
the trailer brakes
so
you’ll
be able to install, adjust and
maintain them properly. Because you have anti-lock
brakes, do not try
to
tap into your vehicle’s brake
system.
If
you
do,
both brake systems won’t work well,
or
at all.
