Hitches

Do not use a hitch that either clamps onto the bumper or attaches to the
axle.

Distribute the trailer load so 10-15% of the total trailer weight is on the
tongue.

Safety Chains

Note: Never attach safety chains to the bumper.

Always connect the safety chains to the hook retainers of your vehicle
hitch.

To connect the safety chains, cross them under the trailer tongue and
allow enough slack for turning tight corners. Do not allow the chains to
drag on the ground.
