Important Trailer Safety Information
The safety chains on your trailer are an added
insurance that it will not become detached from the tow
vehicle. All safety chains are provided with an added
clasp to keep them from becoming accidentally
detached from the tow vehicle. Your trailer hitch on the
tow vehicle should have two attaching holes or rings
for attaching the safety chains, preferably one on each
side of the ball hitch. Crisscross the chains under the
tongue, the chain on the left side of the trailer tongue
attached to the right side of the ball hitch, the chain on
the right side of the trailer tongue attached to the left
side of the ball hitch.
This prevents the trailer tongue from dropping to the
road should the coupler or ball hitch fail. The chains
should be rigged as tight as possible with just enough
slack to allow tight turns to be made. This can be
accomplished by twisting the chain hook in a clockwise
or counterclockwise direction thus twisting the link
spacing and making the chain shorter. Also by keeping
your chains as short as possible you prevent them from
dragging on the road and wearing the chain links. If for
any reason you find it necessary to replace a safety
chain, use only original equipment.
Load-Carrying Capacity
Located on the front left-hand side of the frame, (either
the inside or the outside) is the VIN (Vehicle Identifica-
tion Number) tag. It will show the GVWR (Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating) which is the maximum load that can be
applied to the tires on the trailer. The GVWR and the
carrying capacity of the trailer are based on the tire size
installed on the trailer.
The GVWR is the maximum carrying capacity of the
trailer with its respective tires. It may not necessarily
equal the total GVWR of the trailer less the empty
weight of the trailer because there may be another
controlling factor such as frame strength that reduces
the carrying capacity to what is listed on the VIN tag.
The tire label will list the tire size that was installed on
the trailer as original equipment when it was sold to
you, the consumer. It also lists the maximum carrying
capacity of the trailer.
IMPORTANT: The total weight of the load must
never exceed the weight of cargo listed on the tire
label and/or the maximum load carrying capacity
listed on the VIN tag on your trailer. The GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) listed is the
maximum total weight of the trailer with accesso-
ries and all cargo allowable to be carried on the
tires that are installed on the trailer.
WARNING: Fishtailing caused from improper
tongue weight on the tow vehicle hitch ball can
cause loss of control of the tow vehicle and
resulting serious injury or property damage.
AVERTISSEMENT : Une embardée causée par un
poids de l'attelage inapproprié sur la boule
d'attache du véhicule remorqueur peut causer une
perte de contrôle du véhicule remorqueur et causer
des blessures graves et des dommages à la
propriété.
CAUTION: The maximum load applied to the trailer
must never exceed the carrying capacity of the
trailer as stated on the VIN label and/or the tire
placard. Doing so may cause failure of one or more
component parts of the trailer causing potential
damage to the trailer and/ or a potential accident.
All concentrated loads must be spread over as
large an area as possible to eliminate potential
damage to the decking.
ATTENTION : La charge maximale appliquée à la
remorque ne doit jamais excéder la capacité de
charge de la remorque comme mentionné sur
l'étiquette NIV et/ou le flanc du pneu. Agir de la
sorte risquerait de causer une défaillance d'une ou
plusieurs composantes de la remorque, causant
des dommages potentiels à la remorque et/ou un
accident potentiel. Toutes les charges concentrées
doivent être réparties sur une surface aussi large
que possible pour éliminer tout dommage potentiel
au patio.
