Use your vehicle lug wrench to test the lug nuts. Are they tight? If not, snug them up.

The umbilical cable
provides power for
the trailer’s taillights
and blackout lights.
Hook up the cable
to the vehicle. If
it’s not hooked up,
the connector can
work loose from its
holding clamp during
towing. Then cable
and connector go
bouncing down the
road. Before long,
they’re both damaged.
•
Stow the tongue jack so that it won’t get caught on anything during towing. First,
crank up the tongue jack. Then remove the jack’s two dolly wheel pins. Lift up the
jack and set it on the pedestal. Using the two dolly wheel pins, fasten it to the
pedestal.
Then remove the pin for the telescoping tongue jack. Slide the jack extension up
into the tongue jack and reinsert the pin.
•
Off-road travel can trigger the trailer’s brakes. So, before you go off road, lock out
the brake actuator. Install the pin into the ACTUATOR LOCK OUT to disengage the
brakes. Also, remember to unhook the safety chain brake.
