4. Reinstall the housing cover.

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.
