'rowing a trailer may be second nature tO the pre- fessional driver but to the motorist who uses one oc- casionally, the job can be triekey. ' The average car owner who may be moving, carry- ing gear to a vacation spot or hauling a camping trail- er for the first time should practise before venturing in highway traffic. He can practice on a shopping cen- ter parking lot on an, off day or on a seldom used side road. Here are 10 tips and pro- cedures for hauling a light side load. 1. PULLINNG OUT. Be- fore leaving the curb dou- ble check thatyou have am- ple clearance. Use side mir- rors and apply power slow- ly and evenly. Avoid over - acceleration. 4 2. CORNERING. Take corners at a greater width than usual. Avoid driving too close to parked cam or other roadside obstacles. 3. SHIFTING. When • pulling a loaded trailer, manually shifting your au- , tornatic transmission can ease the load on the engine • and prevent overheating. • Alternating between the 1, 2 and D positions may prove useful on slippery roads, or hills. (Avoid ex• - ceeding 30 m.p.h.- with the transmission in low gear.) • 4. STOPPING. Stop gra- dually and smoothly to maintain constant control. , • Keep one car and trailer , r 4 4 Unless you are a veteran trpiler hauler it's good, to practice first at a traffic -free spot. Then proceed with due caution. length behind the car in front of you for every 10. m.p.h. traveled. 5. TURNING. Allow for greater clearance by driv- ing slightly beyond the tur- ning point before turning the wheel. Also, slow down well before you reach the turn. This procedure helps save gas, reduce brake lin- ing wear and helps car and trailer stay on course with minimum steering adjust- ment. Always signal your intention to turn. 6, BACKING UP. Back slowly and remember one important point. The back of the trailer will move to the opposite side from the back of the tow vehicle. A- void turning the steering wheel excessively. Make small corrections when needed. To control direction, re- member 'this procedure. Place your hand at the top of the steering wheel.

After com- pleting the pass allow am- ple clearance for your trail- er before signaling and moving into your proper lane. Avoid rapid. maneu- vers that tend to sway or tilt the trailer and hamper S)•our control. 8. BEING PASSED. If a heavy vehicle passes you, air turbulence May make • your car and trailer swerve. Do not -apply the brakes. Instead, maintain •your speed and apply a steady, compensating steering pres sure. You„may find a slight acceleration will help you :maintain control. Natural- ly, when, any vehicle passes you, give him 'plenty of space to re-enter the lane, 9. SKIDDING. By turn- ing the front wheels in the direction of a skid, you can counteract the skid. If the car's rear wheels turn to the right, turn the wheel to the right. Don't apply the • vehicle brakes until the skid is reduced, and then apply them lightly. Also ap- ply trailer brakes (if any) independently. 10. OVERHEATING. If overheating takes # place, pull off the road and cothe to, a full stop. Do not turn off the ignition. Put the ' car in PARK or 'NETJT- RAI, and run the engine at fast idle until.the tempera- ture returns to normal.
