Chassis
The Dura-Torque axle is designed to last the
life of your trailer without service, except for
lubrication of the wheel bearings. Under no
circumstances should welding be done on or
near the axle.
The Kelsey Hayes Brakes are operated by 12
volt current from your car and must be
hooked up so that you have an integral
system with your car brakes. To prevent
problems
and
insure
satisfactory braking
action, install a Kelsey Hayes Controller (or
equivalent) and selective resistor in line with
the controller in your car.
A Kelsey Hayes Controller (or equivalent)
installed in your car will synchronize the
trailer brakes with your car brakes. It is
designed to apply the trailer brakes just
before your car brakes. To adjust, turn the
handle
counterclockwise
to
apply
trailer
brakes earlier and clockwise to apply trailer
brakes later. The controller will hold this
setting.
A selective resistor to match the weight of
your trailer to
the controller should be
installed on the fire wall of your engine
compartment. It should be correctly adjusted
during installation. However if you wish to
change the action of your brakes proceed as
follows:
Check the initial trailer brake application with
Trailer Brake Controller
the controller fully applied (clockwise). If the
resistor setting is correct, the controller full
"on" position should provide firm braking
action just short of skidding on dry pavement.
Follow the chart below and change the setting
to achieve greater or less braking, as required.
The adjustment setting of the controller and
the selective resistor should be checked by
your
dealer
during
regular
maintenance
inspection.
