The tongue load can be weighed with a
bathroom scale as shown in the following
illustration. When weighing the tongue
load, be sure to position the towing coupler
at the height at which it would be during
actual towing, using a jack as shown.
F: Front
The tongue load can be adjusted by proper
distribution of the load in the trailer. Never
load the trailer with more weight in the
back than in the front; approximately 60%
of the trailer load should be in the front and
approximately 40% in the rear. Also,
distribute the load as evenly as possible
on both the left and right sides.
Be sure that all cargo is firmly secured to
prevent a change in weight distribution
while driving.
& Connecting a Trailer
s08al04
! Trailer brakes
s08al0401
WARNING
Do not directly connect your trailer’s
hydraulic brake system to the hy-
draulic brake system in your vehicle.
Direct connection would cause the
vehicle’s brake performance to de-
teriorate and could lead to an acci-
dent.
Check that your trailer’s brakes conform
with Federal, state/province and/or other
applicable regulations. Your SUBARU’s
brake system is not designed to be tapped
into the trailer’s hydraulic brake system.
Please ask your SUBARU dealer and
professional trailer supplier for more in-
formation about the trailer’s brake system.
! Trailer safety chains
s08al0402
WARNING
Always use safety chains between
your vehicle and the trailer. Towing
trailer without safety chains could
create a traffic safety hazard if the
trailer separates from the hitch due
to coupling damage or hitch ball
damage.
In case the trailer hitch connector or hitch
ball should break or become discon-
nected, the trailer could get loose and
create a traffic safety hazard.
For safety, always connect the towing
vehicle and trailer with trailer safety
chains. Two chains should be used in
total, one to the right side and the other to
the left side trailer tongue. Pass the chains
crossing each other under the trailer
tongue to prevent the trailer from dropping
onto the ground in case the trailer tongue
should disconnect from the hitch ball.
Allow sufficient slack in the chains taking
tight turn situations into account; however,
be careful not to let them drag on the
ground.
