Pro Series 49904 ROUND BAR WD - Manual (Page 5)

IMPORTANT
1. SWAY CONTROL CANNOT BE USED ON TRAILERS WITH SURGE BRAKES. DO NOT USE SWAY CONTROL ON
CLASS I HITCHES.
2. Trailer loading: Proper trailer loading is your first-line of defense against dangerous instability and sway. Heavy items should be
placed on the floor in front of the axle. The load should be balanced side-to-side and secured to prevent shifting. Tongue weight should
be about 10-15 percent of gross trailer weight for most trailers. Too low a percentage of tongue weight can cause sway. Load the trailer
heavier in front.
3. The handle (5) is an on/off device. The bolt (7) below is for adjustment only.
4. When towing during slippery conditions such as wet, icy, or snow-covered roads or on loose gravel, turn on/off handle (5)
counterclockwise until all tension is removed from unit. Failure to do so could prevent tow vehicle and trailer from turning properly.
5. Do not speed up if sway occurs. Sway increases with speed. Do not continue to operate a swaying vehicle. Check trailer loading, sway
control adjustment and all other equipment until the cause of sway has been determined and corrected.
6. Never paint or lubricate slide bar (6).
