Subaru Outback: Trailer safety chains
WARNING
Always use safety chains between your vehicle and the trailer. Towing trailer
without safety chains could create a traffic safety hazard if the trailer separates
from the hitch due to coupling damage or hitch ball damage.
In case the trailer hitch connector or hitch ball should break or become disconnected,
the trailer could get loose and create a traffic safety hazard. For safety, always
connect the towing vehicle and trailer with trailer safety chains. Pass the chains
crossing each other under the trailer tongue to prevent the trailer from dropping
onto the ground in case the trailer tongue should disconnect from the hitch ball.
Allow sufficient slack in the chains taking tight turn situations into account;
however, be careful not to let them drag on the ground. For more information about
the safety chain connection, refer to the instructions for your hitch and trailer.
