BRAKES

Your trailer's electric brakes are designed to work with your tow vehicle's hydraulic
brakes. To maintain proper braking performance, both trailer and tow vehicle brakes must
be used together. Separate use of the systems will cause accelerated wear and damage.
WHEN YOUR TRAILER IS NEW, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ADJUST YOUR BRAKE
SHOES PRECISELY. IT TAKES APPROXIMATELY 1,000 MILES AND/OR 50
MEDIUM TO HEAVY STOPS TO "BURNISH" FIT OR "SEAT" THE SHOES TO THE
BRAKE DRUM. AFTER THE INITIAL BREAK IN PERIOD YOUR SHOES MUST BE
ADJUSTED ACCURATELY FOR BEST PERFORMANCE AND INCREASED
DURABILITY.
Braking system components include:
• Tow vehicle battery
• Brake controller
• Wire harness/connector plug
• Trailer battery
• Breakaway switch
Tow vehicle battery - The tow vehicle battery is the primary source of power for your
trailer brake operation. To ensure available power when needed, keep your tow vehicle
battery and charging system working properly.
