Your hitch should have slots designated for the chains.
The chains connect to a loop on either side of the ball hitch. One on each side. The chains should not be so tight that when the vehicle turns the chain gets tight and restricts the turn before the trailer starts to turn. The chain is more for safety should the trailer get of the ball.
Your hitch should have slots designated for the chains.
If the trailer hitch should come uncoupled, the safety chains keep the trailer connected to the towing vehicle. When attached PROPERLY, they will also prevent the tongue of the trailer from digging into the road surface if it should disconnect. Cross the chains left to right, and right to left UNDER the tongue of the trailer.
They should crisscross each other beneath the ball hitch, thus forming a cradle in case the ball and tongue should separate. The idea here is to keep the towing vehicle and the trailer as one unit. Never go anywhere without those chains attached.
crisscrossed under the trailer couple
Car chains are designed to aid the motion of the car during ice and snow. Therefore, they should be attached to the drive wheels of the vehicle. In other words, front wheel drive cars need the chains attached to the front wheels.
An appropriate hitch and safety chains should be used
Assuming you are referring to an outboard boat motor- if the operator should fall or be thrown out of the boat, that lanyard pulls out of the safety switch and stops the motor.
Tanks should be secured in a vertical position. Tanks should have a safety shield cap attached to the top around the valves.
haha good question i am wondering the same thing let me no if you find out Cross the chains to cradle and catch the tongue or receiver insertion bar when towing and something lets go, the chains are designed to catch and hold the towed vehicle to the tow unit..hope this helps, drive safely.
They both should.
