DO NOT TOW MULTIPLE TRAILERS: Do not attempt to tow
any type of trailer behind another trailer. Towing multiple trailers may
cause severe instability, loss of control and/or structural failure, and
may result in vehicle accident, property damage and personal injury.
Towing multiple trailers is illegal in many jurisdictions.
TOWING TIPS
DRIVING: Good habits for normal driving need extra emphasis when
towing. The additional weight affects acceleration and braking, and
extra time should be allowed for passing, stopping, and changing
lanes. Signal well in advance of a maneuver to let other drivers
know your intentions. Severe bumps and badly undulating roads
can damage your towing vehicle, hitch, and trailer, and should be
negotiated at a slow steady speed.
IF ANY PART OF YOUR TOWING SYSTEM "BOTTOMS" OUT, OR IF
YOU SUSPECT DAMAGE MAY HAVE OCCURRED IN ANY OTHER WAY,
PULL OVER AND MAKE A THOROUGH INSPECTION. CORRECT ANY
PROBLEMS BEFORE RESUMING TRAVEL.
CHECK YOUR EQUIPMENT:
Periodically check the condition of all your towing equipment and
keep it in top condition.
TRAILER LOADING:
Proper trailer loading is important. Heavy items should be placed
close to the floor near the trailer axle. The load should be balanced
side-to-side and firmly secured to prevent shifting. Tongue weight

should be about 10-15 percent of the gross trailer weight for most
trailers. Too low a percentage of tongue weight will often produce a
tendency to sway.
TIRE INFLATION:
Unless specified otherwise by the towing vehicle or trailer
manufacturer, tires should be inflated to their maximum
recommended pressure.
TOWING VEHICLE AND TRAILER MANUFACTURERS'
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Review the owners' manuals for your towing vehicle and trailer for
specific recommendations, capacities, and requirements.
PASSENGERS IN TRAILERS:
Trailers should NOT be occupied while being towed, under any
circumstances.
TRAILER LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, AND ELECTRIC
BRAKES:
Always hook up trailer lights, turn signals, electric brakes and break-
away switch connection (if so equipped), even for short trips.
REMOVE HITCH WHEN NOT TOWING:
Remove hitch from towing vehicle receiver when not towing to
reduce chance of striking hitch on driveway ramps or other objects,
and to minimize damage in the event of a rear-end collision.
