WARNINGS
Periodically check all gooseneck components to ensure that fasteners are tight and that structural components are sound.
Vehicle performance, such as braking, handling, acceleration and turning radius, can be drastically affected by the trailer. Allow additional time and space for stopping, changing lanes, passing and turning.
Do not tow more than one trailer at a time.
This may cause loss of control.
Severe bumps can damage your towing system. Avoid or drive slowly over rough terrain.

MAINTENANCE
Keep the 60629, receiver, trailer coupler and 60691 safety chain anchor pins lubricated. Use silicone spray or equivalent to prevent wear and rust.
Keep the 60629, receiver, trailer coupler, anchors and under-bed truck mounts free of dirt and other foreign debris.
Note: Failure to maintain your towing system could result in poor performance and / or catastrophic failure.
BEFORE TOWING FOR THE FIRST TIME
- Verify adequate turning clearance between the truck cab / box corners and trailer(s).
- Check truck box clearance. There should be a minimum clearance of 6″ between the bottom of the trailer(s) overhang and the top of the box sides.
- Verify all anchors are properly installed and secured with lynch pins.
- Verify the trailer safety chain length. Too much slack in the chain may prevent maintaining control in the event of separation. Leave only enough slack to allow full turning without interference.
- Verify the trailer attachments to the safety chain anchors are secure (cannot be shaken free during towing).
- Ensure the safety chains and hooks are rated to the load capacity of the trailer.
BEFORE TOWING EVERY TIME
- Ensure all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. Note: Do not tow trailer with worn or damaged parts.
- Attach trailer chains securely to 60691 safety chain anchors.
- Ensure the trailer weight does not exceed any part of the towing system. Be sure load is heavier towards front of the trailer while not exceeding the hitch vertical weight rating. Be sure trailer load is secured to prevent shifting and centered from left to right. Note: Never load the trailer heavier behind the trailer axle(s).
- Check tires to ensure they are inflated to the proper specification. Follow vehicle and trailer recommendations.
- Verify trailer lights, electric brakes and breakaway switches are working properly.
