For proper tow vehicle and trailer hook-up
and towing performance, the tow vehicle and
trailer must be level (parallel) to the ground
after hitching up. If the trailer is not level,
equipment is available to raise or lower the
hitch ball. A weight-equalizing hitch or load
support suspension equipment may also be
required to keep the tow vehicle level while
properly loading each trailer axle.
Safety Cables
The safety cables on a MasterCraft
trailer provide added security so that the
trailer will not become detached from the
tow vehicle when underway. These cables
conform to the Society of Automotive En-
gineers (SAE) J684 standard for trailer cou-
pling and hitches—automotive type. If it ever
becomes necessary to replace these cables,
ensure that the replacement cables meet this
standard.
Failure to properly attach the safety cables
and brake actuator break-away cable be-
tween the trailer and the tow vehicle may
result in a run-away trailer if the trailer cou-
pler becomes detached from the hitch. This
may cause serious injury or death and/or
property damage.
The strength rating of EACH length of
safety cable must be equal to the trailer’s
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating).
Trailer sway control devices that restrict
the operation of the actuator MUST NOT be
used. These devices can limit how well the
trailer brakes work.
Before each trip, ensure that the prop-
er cables are correctly attached between
the tow vehicle and the trailer. Secure the
breakaway cable to the bumper or frame of
the tow vehicle as close to center as pos-
sible but do not attach to the safety cables.
As noted above, the trailer hitch should
provide a place for attaching safety cables,
through holes or rings on both sides of the
hitch ball. It is strongly recommended,
and most states require, that the cables
be criss-crossed under the trailer tongue
(e.g., the cables on the left side of the trail-
er tongue should be attached to the hole
or ring on the right side of the hitch ball,
and the right side cable should be attached
to the hole or ring on the left side of the
hitch ball). This will slow the process of
the trailer tongue dropping to the road if
the trailer coupler separates from the hitch
ball.
The cables should be rigged as tightly as
possible, with just enough slack to permit
tight turns. If for any reason it becomes
