Using Safety Chain

CAUTION: Avoid Injury! Hitch towed loads only to the rear hitch plate to avoid rearward upset. Do not use a safety chain for towing loads.

IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! Secure the towed load to the rear hitch plate. Safety chains are designed to help control the towed load should it separate from the hitch plate.

Use a chain with a strength rating greater than the gross weight of the towed load.

Replace or repair the safety chain if one or more links or fittings are broken, stretched or damaged.
