Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Corvair passenger cars are designed primarily for
passenger conveyance. However, it is well known that
many owners do use the Corvair to pull trailers, and
when available trailer hauling options have been used,
the owners
have experienced very satisfactory service.
When a trailer is attached to a car, the car becomes
not only a load-carrying vehicle, but a load-pulling
vehicle. The demands of this type of operation are very
different from those for which the automobile is pri
marily designed and may present problems, such as
spring
and tire loading, braking, cooling, lighting, and
steering. However, careful driving practices and the use
of factory-recommended options will better satisfy the
requirements
of trailer hauling.
If in the opinion of the manufacturer a part or com
ponent of a motor vehicle has been adversely affected
46
by misuse of the vehicle with trailer loads, such part or
component will not be covered by the manufacturer's
warranty.
The size of and equipment for trailers, including
such items as hitches and safety chains, brakes, lights,
power-weight ratios and over-all length, are generally
subject to safety regulations in all states, and it is the
responsibility of the user to make certain that he is in
full
compliance with the regulations of the states in
which he plans to operate with a trailer of the Interstate
Commerce Commission,
if applicable, before doing so.
Further, when
operating a car with a trailer attached,
the driver must realize that the performance, steering
characteristics,
and braking distance of his car have
been altered, and that he must exercise greater caution
to safely handle his car and trailer.
