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 136. 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.
