Hook-Up Procedures
Connect the tow vehicle to the trailer and check that the coupler is completely latched.
Be sure that a safety pin is inserted to ensure coupler will not unlatch during transport.
Connect the electrical plug from the trailer’s harness to the receptacle of the tow
vehicle. Check all lights on the trailer to make sure they are working correctly with the
tow vehicle’s electrical system.
Be sure the landing leg and drop foot are fully retracted and the crank handle is
stowed in transport position. For trailers with 2-speed jacks, use low gear for raising
and lowering the jack under load, and high gear for raising and lowering the leg when
it is off the ground.
Check all safety chains and their attachment to both the trailer and the towing ve-
hicle. Connect safety chains to tow vehicle using crossed pattern under tongue. Allow
slack for turning, but avoid having chains drag on pavement. Make certain that all
attachment devices are properly installed and in good working order.
For trailers with air brakes
, connect the Glad Hands (one service and one emer-
gency) to tow vehicle. Shut off petcock(s) on air tank(s) or if already shut, open to
exhaust all moisture, then shut off. It is very important that the air system be drained of
moisture after each use to keep all components functioning properly and to make equip-
ment safe.
Trailers with electric brakes
come equipped with an emergency breakaway de-
vice. The breakaway system is designed to operate after the coupling system has failed.
Connect breakaway chain S-hook to bumper or hitch on tow vehicle. Allow slack for
turning, but avoid letting the cable drag on pavement. Provide as straight a connection
as possible.
The breakaway system is for emergencies and is not a parking brake.
