TOWING TIPS

Towing Tips

Driving a tow vehicle Verify adequate turning clearance between the truck cab / box corners and trailer(s).

Verify the trailer safety chain length. Too much slack in the chain may prevent maintaining control

in the event of separation. Leave only enough slack to allow full turning without interference.

Check your equipment Periodically check the condition of all towing equipment. Ensure all fasteners are tight and

that all structural components are sound. Do not tow a trailer with worn or damaged parts.

Check truck box clearance. There should be a minimum clearance of

6" between the bottom of the trailer's overhang and the top of the box sides.

Verify all anchors are properly installed, secured with lynch pins, and the trailer attachments

to the safety chain anchors are secure (cannot be shaken free during towing).

Attach trailer securely to safety chain anchors.

Ensure the safety chains and hooks are rated to the load capacity of the trailer.

Trailer loading Proper trailer loading is very important.

Heavy items should be placed close to the floor near the trailer axle center line. The load should

be balanced side to side and firmly secured in the trailer to prevent shifting. Tongue weight should

be 10-15% or the gross trailer weight for most trailers. Too low of a tongue weight often produces

tendency to sway.

Never load the trailer heaver behind the trailer axle(s).

Towing vehicle and trailer

manufacturer's recommendations

Review the owner's manual for your towing vehicle and trailer

for specific recommendations, capacities and requirements.

Trailer lights, turn signals

and electric brakes

Verify trailer lights, electric brakes and breakaway switches are working properly.

Tire inflation Unless specified by the towing vehicle or trailer manufacturer,

tires should be inflated to their maximum recommended pressure.

Properly Installed System

Always install both safety chain loops

in the rear-most puck system mounts.
