Using Safety Chain

CAUTION: Hitch towed loads only to the drawbar to avoid rearward upset. Do not use the safety chain for towing loads.

IMPORTANT: Secure the towed load to the drawbar. The safety chain is designed to help control the towed load should it separate from the drawbar.

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.

A - Adapter Parts

B - Additional Attaching Points

  1. Use the appropriate adapter parts (A) to attach the safety chain to the tractor drawbar support and to the towed load. Provide only enough slack to permit turning.

  2. Install additional attaching points (B) for the chain on drawbar to reduce slack in chain when necessary.

  3. Remove the safety chain and store when not in use.
