. Will any holes be made in the<br />
body of the vehicle when the<br />
trailer hitch is installed? If so,<br />
seal the holes when the hitch is<br />
removed. If the holes are not<br />
sealed, dirt, water, and deadly<br />
carbon monoxide (CO) from the<br />
exhaust can get into the vehicle.<br />
See Engine Exhaust 0 197.<br />
Safety Chains<br />
Always attach chains between the<br />
vehicle and the trailer. Cross the<br />
safety chains under the tongue of<br />
the trailer to help prevent the tongue<br />
from contacting the road if it<br />
becomes separated from the hitch.<br />
Leave enough slack so the rig can<br />
turn. Never allow safety chains to<br />
drag on the ground.<br />
Trailer Brakes<br />
Does the trailer have its own<br />
brakes? Be sure to read and follow<br />
the instructions for the trailer brakes<br />
so they are installed, adjusted, and<br />
maintained properly.<br />
Because the vehicle has antilock<br />
brakes, do not tap into the vehicle's<br />
brake system. If this is done, both<br />
brake systems will not work well or<br />
at all.<br />
