AUTQMATIC BREAM-AWAY PROTECTION
The hydraulic brake system is equipped with a break-away cable or
chain. When towing, this cable or chain should be attached loosely
to a frame member of the tow vehicle leaving enough clearance so
that the trailer can turn freely without actuating the break-away
device.
Should the trailer separate from the tow vehicle, the break-away
cable will actuate the master cylinder, locking the brakes. this will
stop the trailer in the shortest possibIe distance.
CAUTION: Break-away switch should be fully released
during vehicle operation.
CHECK BEFORE
TOWING.
CAUTION: Do not use sway bars or equalizer bars on the
surge brake system.
