2 GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION 2.1 SAFETY ALERT SYMBOLS AND SIGNAL WORDS An Owner’s Manual that provides general trailer information cannot cover all of the specific details necessary for the proper combination of every trailer, tow vehicle and hitch. Therefore, you must read, understand and follow the instructions given by the tow vehicle and trailer hitch manufacturers, as well as the instructions in this manual. Our trailers are built with components produced by various manufacturers. Some of these items have separate instruction manuals. Where this manual indicates that you should read another manual, and you do not have that manual, contact your dealer for assistance. The safety information in this manual is denoted by the safety alert symbol: ^ The level of risk is indicated by the following signal words. ! DANGER DANGER – Immediate hazards which WILL result in severe personal injury or death if the warning is ignored. ! WARNING WARNING – Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death if the warning is ignored. ! CAUTION CAUTION – Hazards or unsafe practices which could result in minor or moderate injury if the warning is ignored. NOTICE NOTICE – Practices that could result in damage to the trailer or other property. 2.2 MAJOR HAZARDS Loss of control of the trailer or trailer/tow vehicle combination can result in death or serious injury. The most common causes for loss of control of the trailer are: �� Improper sizing the trailer for the tow vehicle, or vice versa. �� Excessive Speed: Driving too fast for the conditions. �� Failure to adjust driving behavior when towing a trailer. 10
