WHAT TO CHECK AND HOW TO CHECK
Breakaway Switch &
D.O.T. Wet Cell Battery
After hitching to the tow vehicle, pull the safety
pin on the breakaway switch. Check to see if
system is operational. Push safety pin back in
to its original position.
Check battery fl uid level every 60-90 days. Re-
move cover. There are two fi ll caps. Refi ll with
distilled water only.
Breakaway Switch
Mounted on an A-Frame
Attach breakaway switch cable securely in a
straight line to the tow vehicle. Locate at-
tachments so little “slack” is left in the cable,
but enough slack to allow for turning without
disengaging the pin. The cable will activate
brakes the instant a trailer becomes disen-
gaged. Brake adjustment is critical to stopping
a disengaged trailer.
Check Breakaway System
& Brakes Before Each Trip
1. Disconnect 12V plug from tow vehicle.
2. Pull breakaway pin.
3. While pin is pulled, move tow vehicle forward. Brake
should be on and wheels locked.
4. Replace pin and secure to tow vehicle. Do not loop
over hitch ball.
5. Plug 12V connector into tow vehicle receptacle.
6. Test brakes with brake controller.
NOTE: When disconnecting trailer from tow ve-
hicle, make sure to replace safety pin.

Brakes
Your trailer is equipped with electric brakes.
Complete service and repair information for the
electric brakes is found in the Axle Break Ser-
vice Manual that is furnished with your trailer,
Note: It is important to strictly adhere to the axle
break instructions for brake service and re-
pair. In this way, you are protecting the validity
of all applicable warranties
.
Burnishing the Brakes
Brakes on a new trailer may tend to “grab” or pul-
sate. This is normal. To correct the situation,
pull the trailer with the trailer brake control
slightly engaged a short distance (about 1000
ft or until trailer does not grab or pull to one
side anymore). This action smooths down the
brake bands
.
Note: Do not lock up the wheels.
