Listed in the chart below are the different class's of safety chains and the rated load each chain must be capable of
withstanding.

Class I to 2000 lbs.
Class II 2000 to 3500 lbs.
Class III 3500 to 5000 lbs.
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY ATTACH SAFETY CHAINS BETWEEN THE TRAILER AND TOW
VEHICLE CAN RESULT IN A RUNAWAY TRAILER.
WARNING: TO AVOID ACCIDENTS, BEFORE TRAILERING:
• Hitch only to ball size marked on coupling.
• Ball clamp must capture ball and lever or hand wheel is fully clamped
• Cross safety chains under coupling.
• Allow only enough slack for turns.
ELECTRICAL TRAILER WIRING
All trailers must have taillights, brake lights and turn signals connected to the towing vehicle's electrical system. It
is also recommended that a heavy duty turn signal flasher and emergency flasher (if separate) be installed since the
trailer lights place an extra load on car flasher units.
TOWING HEAVY TRAILER LOADS
Additional equipment. The following items may be helpful for towing heavy loads. Consult your vehicle's owner
manual or dealership for recommended towing accessories.
• Overload Springs
• Overload or air shocks
• Transmission Oil Cooler
• Engine Oil Cooler
• Coolant Recovery System
• Heavy Duty Fan
• Side View Mirrors
• Sway Control
TIRE PRESSURE
Proper air pressure for your tires is printed on the sidewall. Check pressure while tires are cold. Do not raise or lower
pressure to meet load. Pressure other than recommended pressure will lead to excessive tire wear or tire failure.
Balancing recommended. Preferred balancing method is to center off of stud holes, since 13" through 16.5 wheels
are not hub piloted.
WARNING: FOR A NEW TRAILER, THE WHEEL LUG NUTS SHOULD BE TIGHTENED TO THE PROPER
TORQUE SPECIFICATION BEFORE USE, AFTER 25 MILES OF OPERATION AND EVERY 100 MILES
OF OPERATION THEREAFTER. FAILURE TO CHECK THE LUG NUTS FOR PROPER TIGHTNESS CAN
RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO A WHEEL FALLING FROM THE TRAILER.
WARNING: NEVER OPERATE A TRAILER OR TOW VEHICLE THAT HAS A LOOSE, MISSING OR BROKEN
LUG NUT. THE TRAILER IS DESIGNED FOR SAFE OPERATION WITH ALL LUG NUTS INSTALLED AND
ALL AT THE PROPER TORQUE RATING. OPERATING THE TRAILER WITH ONE OR MORE BROKEN
OR MISSING LUG NUTS GREATLY INCREASES THE LOAD ON THE REMAINING NUTS AND CAN
CAUSE FAILURE OF THE REMAINING NUTS THAT CAN RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO A WHEEL
FALLING FROM THE TRAILER.
