To assist you in the correct use of your trailer we recommend that:
- You understand what the total weight capacity or GVM of your trailer is. (Printed on information tag attached to drawbar.)
- The tow vehicle is capable of towing such a weight. (See vehicle manufacturer’s hand book.)
- The load is distributed such that approximately 10% of the total towed mass is on the tow coupling.
- A universal length safety chain is attached for your convenience. Please ensure the “D” shackle is attached through a link in the chain, to allow sufficient radius to turn the trailer, yet hold the coupling up off the ground, should the coupling become disengaged from the tow ball of the tow vehicle.
- The size of loads should be limited to what can be carried completely within the confines of the trailer.
- All loads must be appropriately and properly secured to your trailer.
- Tyre inflation is maintained at the correct pressure shown on the information tag attached to the trailer drawbar.
NOTE: If the maximum towed mass exceeds the recommended GVM it may invalidate your warranty and insurance.
