7. Attach the safety chains (A, Figure 5) to the tow vehicle's
hitch frame. Cross the chains under the tongue as
shown. Leave enough slack in the chains to allow for
turns, but not so much that the chains will contact the
road surface.

the tow vehicle lighting connector. Make sure the trailer
lighting harness has adequate length to prevent discon-
nection when turning, but not so much length that the
harness will contact the road surface. Once connected,
check the stop, turn signal, tail, side marker and license
plate lamps for proper operation.
9. Fully raise the tongue jack, then retract into the transport
position. See Operating The Tongue Jack.
10. Remove the wheel chocks from both sides of the light
tower trailer wheels.

Make sure the lock lever engages the locking hole and is
secure.

resulting in death or serious injury. Always be sure the lock
lever locks the tongue jack in the operating position.
