trailer CHEVROLET S10 1994 2.G Owner's Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine You must weigh any accessories, trailer hitches or other equipment you a\
dd
to your vehicle. Then, subtract this extra weight from the CWR\
. This extra weight may shorten the center of gravity zone for your vehicle. Your dealer
can help you with this.
If your slide-in camper and its load weigh less than the CWR, the center of
gravity zone
for your vehicle may be larger.
Your dealer can help you make a good vehicle-camper match. He’ll also
help you determine your CWR.
After you’ve loaded your vehicle and camper, drive to a wei\
gh station and weigh on the front and rear wheels separately. This will tell you the loads on
your axles. The loads on the front and rear axles shouldn’t be more than
either
of the GAWRs. The total of the axle loads should not be more than
the GVWR.
Open your driver’s door and look at the door lock pillar for the
CertificationD‘ire label to find out your GAWR and GVWR.
11 you ve gone over ; Jr weight ratings, move or take out some things until
all the weights fall below the ratings. Of course, you should always tie down
any loose items when you load your vehicle or camper.
When you install and load your slide-in camper, check the manu\
facturer’s instructions.
If you want more information on curb weights, cargo weights, cargo weight
rating and the correct center of gravity zone for your vehicle, your dealer
can help you. Just ask for a copy of “Consumer Information, Truck
-
Camper Loading.”
Trailer Recommendations
You must subtract your hitch loads from the CWR for your vehicle. Weigh
your vehicle with your trailer attached,
so that you won’t go over the
GVWR or the GAWR.
You’ll get the best performance if you spread out the weight of your load
the right way, and if you choose the correct hitch and trailer brakes.
For more information, see “Trailer Towing’’ in the Index.
Pickup Conversion To Chassis Cab
General Motors is aware that some vehicle owners may consider having the
pickup
box removed and a commercial or recreational body installed.
However, we recommend that conversions of this type not be done to this
pickup. Owners should be aware that, as manufactured, there are differences
between a chassis cab and a pickup with the box removed which\
may affect vehicle safety.
For further information, contact the GM Zone Office for your
area. (See the “Warranty and Owner Assistance” booklet fo\
r Zone Office.)

The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch. An
electrical overload will cause the lights to go on and off, or in some cases to
remain
off. If this happens, have your headlight wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If
the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until .the
motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and not
snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker
opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed.
Trailer Wiring Harness
The optional seven-wire trailer wiring harness is protected by an in-line
fuse in the battery feed wire. This fuse
is near the junction block. See
“Trailer Wiring Harness”
in the Features & Controls section.
