Safety Chains
Safety chains are required on all trailers, but if safety chains are hooked up improperly, they are useless. A common mistake when towing a trailer is failure to cross safety chains. ALWAYS CROSS SAFETY CHAINS WHEN HOOKING UP YOUR TRAILER.
Always use safety chains when towing.
Cross safety chains under coupling to prevent tongue from dropping to the ground.
Allow only enough slack for tight turns.
Do not let safety chains drag on ground.
Also make sure the chains cannot wiggle or bounce free.
Twist safety chains equally from hook ends to take up slack.
Use safety chains rated equal to or greater than twice the maximum gross trailer weight rating.
