Hitches

It’s important to have the correct hitch equipment.

Crosswinds, large trucks going by and rough roads

are a few reasons why you’ll need the right hitch.

Here are some rules to follow:

• The rear bumper on your vehicle is not intended

for hitches. Do not attach rental hitches or

other bumper-type hitches to it. Use only a

frame-mounted hitch that does not attach to

the bumper.

• Will you have to make any holes in the body

of your vehicle when you install a trailer hitch?

If you do, then be sure to seal the holes later

when you remove the hitch. If you don’t seal them,

deadly carbon monoxide (CO) from your exhaust

can get into your vehicle. See Engine Exhaust

on page 2-36. Dirt and water can, too.

Safety Chains

You should always attach chains between your vehicle

and your trailer. Cross the safety chains under the

tongue of the trailer so that the tongue will not drop

to 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. And, never allow safety chains to drag

on the ground.

Trailer Brakes

Does your trailer have its own brakes?

Be sure to read and follow the instructions for the trailer

brakes so you’ll be able to install, adjust and maintain

them properly. And because you may have anti-lock

brakes, do not try to tap into your vehicle’s hydraulic

brake system. If you do, both systems won’t work well,

or at all.
