Make sure that your safety chains are fastened to the frame of the trailer and to the hitch or tow vehicle frame. Safety chains fastened directly to the hitch ball or to the bumper, are not acceptable and will not pass vehicle inspections. Connect safety chains using a crossed pattern under the tongue. FIGURE 3: TYPICAL DOUBLE SAFETY CHAIN INSTALLATION SWAY CONTROL DEVICES Trailer sway control devices that restrict operation of the actuator MUST NOT be used. These devices can limit the how much the trailer brakes work. HOW TO ATTACH THE TRAILER To connect the trailer to the tow vehicle, open the coupler mechanism (see instructions below) and if necessary, raise the trailer jack. Slowly back up the tow vehicle so that the hitch ball is under the coupler. ! WARNING 왕 Do not move the trailer to the tow vehicle. When the trailer is moved without a tow vehicle, the brakes do not work. If the latch accidentally opens, the coupler could detach from the hitch ball. The hitch pin should fit easily into the hole (Figure 4). If it does not, the coupler latch is not completely closed. Every time the coupler is attached to the hitch ball, make sure the coupler completely covers the hitch ball and the lift handle will not open without pushing the push button to the side. If the hitch pin is damaged or lost, contact UFP for a free replacement pin. 4
