TRAILER TOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
In trailer towing, as in most driving situations, exposure to certain hazards occurs. Trailer towing is safe when
precautions are taken. The following safety information is only a summary of the more complete information found in
the Safety Standards listed at the end of these precautions. Read and follow all Safety Standards. In addition, the
end user must check and comply with all federal, state, and local laws before use.
HAVE ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIR WORK PERFORMED ONLY BY
QUALIFIED PEOPLE.
WARNING
TRAILER TOWING can be hazardous.
1. Use a towing vehicle prepared and capable of handling the load.
2. Towing any trailer requires special awareness because of the
changed driving situation.
3. When towing, it takes longer to start, stop, and pass use
training and practice to avoid accidents.
4. Turning and backing up present new problems plan ahead.
5. Require each driver to be fully trained and experienced in trailer
towing before going out on the road.
6. Holes are provided for mounting weld/power generator.
7. Be sure trailer is fully prepared and connected to towing vehicle.
8. Observe maximum speed of 45 mph (72 kph) when towing.
9. Do not modify or change the trailer in any way changes void the
warranty. Read Owners Manual.
10. Use only genuine factory parts as replacements.
11. Adjust load on trailer so tongue weight is approximately 10% of
the gross trailer weight and center load side-to-side to reduce
fishtailing.
12. Tighten all parts, bolts, nuts, and mounting hardware.

OVERLOADING can cause serious injury or
equipment damage.
1. Do not overload the trailer.
2. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is the maximum total
trailer weight with the engine driven welding generator and all
equipment, such as tools, cables, and shielding gas cylinder,
installed.
3. The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) is the maximum
load-bearing capacity of the axle(s).
4. Weigh trailer adjust weight by removing accessory equipment if
necessary call local authorities for nearest scale location.
5. Use gross trailer weight to select a proper towing vehicle.

UNCONTROLLED TILTING OF TRAILER can result
in personal injury or equipment damage.
1. Install generator according to Owners Manual with engine end
toward hitch end of trailer.
2. Distribute weight so that trailer tongue weight is approximately
10% of the gross trailer weight.
INCORRECT TONGUE WEIGHT can cause
fishtailing and loss of control of towing vehicle
resulting in serious injury and equipment damage.
3. Tongue weight is the amount of trailer weight that rests on the
towing vehicle hitch that is, the downward pressure on the
coupler.
4. Remove or adjust trailer load to get correct tongue weight.
5. Do not let tongue weight exceed coupler and hitch rating.
6. Use slower speeds when towing a trailer never above 45 mph
(72 km/h) to prevent fishtailing.

SAFETY CHAINS CAN PREVENT RUNAWAY
TRAILER in case hitch/coupler fails.
1. Always use safety chains when towing.
2. Cross safety chains under coupling to prevent tongue from
dropping to ground.
3. Allow only enough slack for tight turns.
4. Do not let safety chains drag on ground.
5. Twist safety chains equally from hook ends to take up slack.
6. Use safety chains rated equal to or greater than twice the
maximum gross trailer weight rating.

INCORRECT SIZE OR RATING OF HITCH can
cause trailer to break loose from towing vehicle.
1. Be sure towing vehicle hitch is correct type, size, and rating to
match coupler.
2. Be sure the hitch is properly installed onto towing vehicle.
3. On optional ball couplers, always insert hitch safety pin before
towing.
4. Make sure hitch and ball are properly sized and match each
other.

WHEELS MUST BE CHOCKED when trailer is
uncoupled from vehicle.
1. Chock in direction of grade.
2. Position chock snugly behind tire.
3. Place chock square to the tire.
4. Tap chock into place.
5. For added protection, chock both sides of tire.
UNEXPECTED TILTING OF TRAILER can cause
injury and damage.
1. When trailer is uncoupled from towing vehicle, use jack on front
and block rear to prevent tilting.
2. Use proper blocks that are large enough and able to support the
necessary weight.
3. Always chock the wheels when uncoupled.
INCORRECTLY WORKING LIGHTS can cause
accidents.
1. State and Federal regulations require trailers used on highways
to have tail, stop, turn, and side marker lights.
2. Lights are not required for trailers designed for off-road use only.
3. Check all lights and connectors for proper installation and
operation before using the trailer.
4. Check condition of wiring harness leads, plugs, and connections
regularly. Repair or replace damaged parts or wires.
5. Replace any broken lenses, reflectors, or bulbs.
Tail, Stop, And
Turn Lights
Side Marker Lights
INCORRECT TORQUE on lug nuts or INCORRECT
TIRE PRESSURE or BEARING MAINTENANCE can
cause loss of control resulting in serious injury
and equipment damage.
1. Recheck lug nut torque after first 50 miles (80 km) and once each
year or every 12,000 miles (19,500 km) thereafter, whichever
comes first.
2. When checking lug nuts, keep them clean, dry, and unlubricated.
3. Check and repack wheel bearings once each year or every
12,000 miles (19,500 km), whichever comes first.
4. Maintain correct tire pressure according to sidewall data on tire
underinflation is the most common cause of tire trouble.
5. Check tires for wear every six months.
6. Use only replacement tires of the same size, rating, and capacity.

WRONG BREAKAWAY CABLE CONNECTION can
cause accidents.
1. Check brake fluid level before use.
2. Do not use sway control devices keep coupler free to telescope
during braking.
3. Always connect breakaway cable to towing vehicle be sure it
has a direct free pull.
4. Do not wrap cable around safety chains, tongue, wiring, or any
other parts.
5. The breakaway cable automatically applies the trailer brakes if
separation occurs.

1. Periodically double-check all nuts and bolts for tightness and
condition.
2. If necessary, always replace any fastener with one of equal
size, grade, and type.
3. Be sure the grade marks on replacement fastener match the
original bolt. The manufactures identification mark is not critical
and does not matter for the replacement fastener.
