Parking on Hills

{

Warning

Parking the vehicle on a hill with
the trailer attached can be
dangerous. If something goes
wrong, the rig could start to move.
People can be injured, and both
the vehicle and the trailer can be
damaged. When possible, always
park the rig on a flat surface.

If parking the rig on a hill:

1. Press the brake pedal, but do

not shift into P (Park) yet. Turn
the wheels into the curb if
facing downhill or into traffic if
facing uphill.

2. Have someone place chocks

under the trailer wheels.

3. When the wheel chocks are in

place, release the brake pedal
until the chocks absorb
the load.

4. Reapply the brake pedal. Then

apply the parking brake and
shift into P (Park).

5. Release the brake pedal.

Leaving After Parking on a Hill

1. Apply and hold the brake pedal

while you:

1.1. Start the engine.

1.2. Shift into a gear.

1.3. Release the parking

brake.

2. Let up on the brake pedal.

3. Drive slowly until the trailer is

clear of the chocks.

4. Stop and have someone pick

up and store the chocks.

Maintenance When Trailer

Things that are especially important
in trailer operation are automatic
transmission fluid, engine oil, axle
lubricant, belts, cooling system, and
brake system. Inspect these before
and during the trip.

Check periodically to see that all
hitch nuts and bolts are tight.

Engine Cooling When Trailer
Towing

The cooling system may temporarily
overheat during severe operating
conditions. See
