Safety Chains

You should always attach safety 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.

If you are towing a trailer up to 5,000 lbs (2 270 kg) with

a factory-installed step bumper, you may attach the

safety chains to the attaching points on the bumper. If

you are towing a trailer up to your vehicle’s trailer rating

limit, you may attach the safety chains to the attaching

point on the hitch platform. If you are towing with

an aftermarket hitch, following the trailer or hitch

manufacturer’s recommendation for attaching safety

chains. 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 2,000 lbs (900 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.

If your vehicle is equipped with StabiliTrak

, your trailer

cannot tap into the vehicle’s hydraulic brake system.

Your trailer 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 inches (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, make the brake tap at

the port on the master cylinder that sends the 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.
