(CO)
from your exhaust can get into
your vehicle (see “Carbon
Monoxide’’
in
the Index). Dirt and
water can, too.
The bumpers on your vehicle are not
intended for hitches.
Do
not
attach
rental hitches or other bumper-type
hitches to them. Use only a
frame-mounted hitch that does
not
attach to the bumper.
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. Always leave just enough slack
so
you can turn with your rig. And,
never allow safety chains to drag
on
the
ground.
Trailer Brakes
If your trailer weighs more than
1,000
pounds
(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.
Don’t tap into your vehicle’s brake
system if the trailer’s brake system
will use more than
0.02
cubic inch
(0.3
cc) of fluid from your vehicle’s
master cylinder. If
it
does, both
braking systems won’t work well.
You could even lose your brakes.
