Connect the trailer lights to the tow vehicle’s electrical system using the electrical
connectors.
• Check all lights for proper operation.
1. Clearance and Running Lights (Turn on tow vehicle headlights).
2. Brake Lights (Step on tow vehicle brake pedal).
3. Turn Signals (Operate tow vehicle directional signal lever).
Warning: To ensure your trailer lights function properly, firmly insert the
Plug (Trailer) into the Receptor (Tow Vehicle).
Follow local and state laws, but do not exceed 65 mph.
WARNING
Improper rigging of the safety chains can result in loss of control
of the trailer and the tow vehicle, leading to death or serious
injury, if the trailer uncouples from the tow vehicle.
• Fasten chains to frame of tow vehicle. Do not fasten chains
to any part of the hitch unless the hitch has holes or loops
specifically for that purpose.
• Cross chains underneath hitch and coupler with enough slack
to permit turning, and to hold tongue up, if the trailer comes
loose.
WARNING
Do not transport people in the trailer. Failure to heed this warn-
ing could result in serious injury such as broken bones, brain
damage, paralysis or death.
