latch point
1) Pull the pin with its attached cable out of the breakaway switch. Note: The other end of the cable is a
terminal loop.
2) Route the pin and its attached cable
through the safety cable latch-point on the
tow vehicle, and then back through its own
terminal loop.
3) Reinsert the pin into the breakaway
switch.
CAUTION Always keep the pin inserted in
the breakaway switch, even when not
towing. Failure to have the pin inserted will
drain your battery. Never use the
breakaway switch as a parking brake.
Note: An extra pin is attached to the lanyard.
Plug in Lights/Brakes
Plug 7-way electrical pin connector into vehicle.
Raise the Jack
Always crank the jack into the UP position before towing.
Tow
Tow the trailer to your desired work location.
When towing, always adhere to the following safety rules.
• Read vehicle instructions. Review towing safety instructions in your towing vehicle manual.
• Driving skills. Special attention and driving skills are necessary for towing any type of trailer.
• Vehicle handling. Be aware that vehicle handling will be affected when towing the filled trailer. Exercise
caution to avoid loss of control or trailer overturning:
o Keep speed to a minimum so you can always maintain control. Reduce speed prior to turns.
o Allow for wider turns and for more distance to stop.
o Avoid any sudden steering maneuvers, starts, or stops that could create sway.
• Rough or sloped terrain. Slow down and exercise extra caution on rough or sloped terrain to reduce risk of
rollover. Pick the most level route possible when transporting across fields. Drive up and down slopes that
cannot be avoided, rather than across. Use a vehicle equipped with a Roll Over Protection System (ROPS)
if you will be operating on non-level terrain.
• Added length. Be aware of the added length of the trailer.
• Reduced visibility. Be aware that visibility may be reduced with trailer attached. Be extra cautious when
backing up or turning.
• Ride / transport. Never ride or transport cargo on the trailer.
• On public roads. If towing on a public road, make sure to comply with all local, state, and federal towing
requirements. It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to obtain licensing, trailer lights, safety chains, or
signage as needed to comply.
• Under the influence. Never tow or operate this trailer while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or
medication.
If Leaving Unattended
Turn off the vehicle and block the trailer wheels if leaving the trailer unattended.
