1.2 Towing Safety
WARNING: Towing a large trailer requires special care. Both the trailer and vehicle must be in good condition and securely fastened to each other to reduce the possibility of an accident.

1.2.1 ALWAYS check that the hitch and coupling on the vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than, the trailer’s “gross vehicle weight rating”(GVWR).
1.2.2 ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear or damage. DO NOT tow the trailer using defective parts.
1.2.3 ALWAYS make sure the coupling is securely fastened to the vehicle.
1.2.4 ALWAYS check the tires on the trailer for tread wear, inflation, and condition. Replace worn tires.
1.2.5 ALWAYS connect the safety chains.
1.2.6 ALWAYS make sure directional and trailer lights are connected and working properly.
1.2.7 ALWAYS check that the lug nuts holding the wheels are tight and that none are missing.
1.2.8 The maximum recommended speed for highway towing is 72km/hour (45MPH). Recommended off-road towing speed is not to exceed 16 km/hour (10MPH) or less depending on terrain.
1.2.9 ALWAYS refer to the applicable Department of Transportation regulations before towing.

1.3 Service Safety
Only a qualified electrician should troubleshoot or repair electrical problems occurring with this equipment.
1.3.1 ALWAYS replace the safety devices and guards after repairs and maintenance.
