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 vehicie
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.
0
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
2-28.
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 brake system.
If you do, both systems won’t work well, or at all.
