SAFETY WARNING LABELS ON YOUR TRAILER

DA7000 SERIES GENERATORS — TRAILER SAFETY GUIDELINES

Some drivers place their hands at the bottom of the steering

wheel, and while the tow vehicle is in reverse, “think” of the

hands as being on the top of the wheel. When the hands

move to the right (counter-clockwise, as you would do to

turn the tow vehicle to the left when moving forward), the

rear of the trailer moves to the right. Conversely, rotating

the steering wheel clockwise with your hands at the bottom

of the wheel will move the rear of the trailer to the left while

backing up.

If you are towing a bumper hitch rig, be careful not to allow

the trailer to turn too much, because it will hit the rear of the

tow vehicle. To straighten the rig, either pull forward or turn

the steering wheel in the opposite direction.

Trailer VIN Tag

Figure 27 below is a sample of the Vehicle

Identification Number (VIN) Tag which is located on the left

front of the trailer. See Figure 28.

Figure 27. Vehicle VIN Tag

The trailer VIN Tag contains the following critical safety

information for the use of your trailer.

GAWR: The maximum gross weight that an axle can

support. It is the lowest of axle, wheel, or tire rating.

Usually, the tire or wheel rating is lower than the axle rating,

and determines GAWR.

GVWR: The maximum allowable gross weight of the trailer

and its contents. The gross weight of the trailer includes the

weight of the trailer and all of the items within it (such as the

pump with water, engine, and other ITEMS). GVWR is some-

times referred to as GTWR (Gross Trailer Weight Rating), or

MGTW (Maximum Gross Trailer Weight). GVWR, GTWR

and MGTW are all the same rating.

The sum total of the GAWR for all trailer axles may be less

than the GVWR for the trailer, because some of the trailer

load is to be carried by the tow vehicle, rather than by the

trailer axle(s). The total weight of the cargo and trailer must

not exceed the GVWR, and the load on an axle must not

exceed its GAWR.

PSIC: The tire pressure (Pounds per Square Inch)

measured when

Cold.

VIN: The Vehicle Identification Number.

EMPTY WEIGHT: Some information that comes with the

trailer (such as the Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin) is

not a reliable source for “empty” or “net” weight. The ship-

ping documents list average or standard weights and your

trailer may be equipped with options.

To determine the “empty” or “net” weight of your trailer, weigh

it on an axle scale. To find the weight of the trailer using an

axle scale, you must know the axle weights of your tow

vehicle without the trailer coupled. Some of the trailer

weight will be transferred from the trailer to the tow vehicle

axles, and an axle scale weighs all axles, including the tow

vehicle axles.
