If you’ll be pulling a trailer that, when loaded, will weigh

more than 3,500 lbs (1 587 kg) be sure to use a

properly mounted weight-distributing hitch and sway

control of the proper size. This equipment is very

important for proper vehicle loading and good handling

when driving. You should always use a sway control

if your trailer will weigh more than these limits. You can

ask a hitch dealer about sway controls.

Safety Chains

You should always attach chains between your vehicle

and your trailer. Cross the safety chains under the

tongue of the trailer to help prevent the tongue from

contacting the road if it becomes separated from

the hitch. Instructions about safety chains may be

provided by the hitch manufacturer or by the trailer

manufacturer. Follow the manufacturer’s

recommendation for attaching safety chains and do not

attach them to the bumper. Always leave just enough

slack so you can turn with your rig. Never allow

safety chains to drag on the ground.

Trailer Brakes

If your trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs (450 kg)

loaded, then it needs its own brakes — and they must

be adequate. Be sure to read and follow the instructions

for the trailer brakes so you’ll be able to install, adjust

and maintain them properly.

Your trailer’s brake system can tap into the vehicle’s

hydraulic brake system only if:

• The trailer parts can withstand 3,000 psi

(20 650 kPa) of pressure.

• The trailer’s brake system will use less than

0.02 cubic inch (0.3 cc) of ﬂuid from your vehicle’s

master cylinder. Otherwise, both braking systems

won’t work well. You could even lose your brakes.

If everything checks out this far, then make the brake

ﬂuid tap at the port on the master cylinder that

sends ﬂuid to the rear brakes. But don’t use copper

tubing for this. If you do, it will bend and ﬁnally break off.

Use steel brake tubing.
