Safety Chains
Should the hitch connection between
your car and the trailer or vehicle you
are towing fail, the trailer or vehicle
could wander dangerously across other
lanes of traffic and ultimately collide
with another vehicle. To eliminate this
potentially dangerous situation, safety
chains, attached between your car and
the trailer or towed vehicle, are re-
quired in most provinces.
Tongue loads can be increased or
decreased by redistributing the load in
the trailer.
This can be verified by checking the
total weight of the loaded trailer and
then checking the load on the tongue.
NOTE:
1. Never load the trailer with more
weight in the back than in the
front. About 60% of the trailer
load should be in the front half
on the trailer and the remaining
40% in the rear.
do so, and allow the engine to
idle until it cools down. You may
proceed once the engine has
cooled sufficiently.
