anchor.

12. Back the towing vehicle up to the Portable Pit.
13. Set the park brake before dismounting.
14. Connect the Portable Pit to the towing vehicle and use a retainer to lock the

hitch draw pin in place.

15. Install the safety chain between the tongue of the Portable Pit and the frame

of the towing unit. Loop the chain under the tongue to form a cradle that will
prevent the tongue from digging into the road surface and upsetting the
trailer should a break-away occur. Ensure there is enough slack in the chain
for turning. When not in use, store the safety chain in a clean dry place.
Replace the safety chain if one or more links or end fittings are broken,
stretched, or otherwise damaged or deformed. Refer to Figure 4.4.
