11. Care must be taken when backing up a towed
vehicle. Only back up the towed vehicle on a
straight path. If the towed vehicle is allowed to
turn off the straight path while backing up, the
vehicle could jackknife, causing severe damage to
the Tow Bar, towed vehicle, and towing vehicle.
12. Never drive the towed vehicle while the
Tow Bar is attached to the front.
13. Never tow a vehicle with passengers or
animals riding in the towed vehicle.
14. Contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles
(or other regulatory agency) for pertinent
regulations before installation or use of this
Tow Bar. Always use this product in full accord
with all federal, state, and local laws.
15. Connection of this Tow Bar must only
be attempted on flat, level ground.
16. WARNING! Use extreme caution if a vehicle
suddenly sways while being towed. A vehicle that
sways is extremely dangerous and can cause loss
of control of the towing vehicle and towed vehicle. If
swaying occurs, gradually slow down and drive to a
safe location of the road to correct the problem. Do
not brake suddenly or hard, as this will intensify the
swaying and make the towing vehicle and towed
vehicle even more difficult to control. Turbulence
from another vehicle, wind gusts, downgrades,
shifting cargo or tire failure also may be the cause
of swaying. It is the driver’s responsibility to
assess the situation and take appropriate action.
If the swaying problem cannot be corrected,
seek help from a qualified towing professional.
17. Before every tow, check all towing equipment. Repair
or replace any damaged equipment. When towing
over a long distance recheck all equipment at short,
regular intervals. Make sure to check tire inflation
for both the towing vehicle and towed vehicle.
18. Drive safely. When the weight of a towed vehicle
is coupled to a towing vehicle, the effect of the
additional weight will diminish the performance of the
towing vehicle, resulting in decreased acceleration of
the towing vehicle and increased stopping distances.
The added weight will also cause an adverse affect
on the towing vehicle’s handling characteristics.
Always reduce speed when towing a vehicle.
19. WARNING! The warnings, precautions, and
instructions discussed in this manual cannot cover
all possible conditions and situations that may occur.
The operator must understand that common sense
and caution are factors, which cannot be built into
this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
