TION. Do not use the Trailer even if minor damage appears.
NEVER ALLOW ADULTS, CHILDREN, OR PETS TO RIDE IN THE TRAILER.
BEFORE EACH USE, ALWAYS ATTACH THE SAFETY CHAIN (A19) OF THE
TRAILER TO THE TOWING VEHICLE. Make sure the Safety Chain is attached
to the towing vehicle with the same length for each side. Do not allow the Safety
Chain to drag on the ground.
ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE PAYLOAD BEING TRANSPORTED IS

from side to side with 60% of the load forward of the Axle (A8).
MAKE SURE THE TOWING VEHICLE IS CAPABLE OF TOWING THE TRAILER

ing the Trailer and its payload. The towing capacity of the hitch is typically stamped
on the hitch drawbar.
MAKE SURE THE HITCH COUPLER (A14) AND THE VEHICLE’S BALL HITCH
(not included) ARE OF EQUAL MATING SIZE (1-7/8”) AND ARE RATED EQUAL
TO OR GREATER THAN THE WEIGHT OF THE TRAILER AND ITS PAYLOAD.

speed is a major cause of vehicle-trailer accidents.
