10.6 TRAILER BREAK-AWAY SYSTEM

10.6.1 Testing the Battery

1. Disconnect the trailer plug from the tow
vehicle; otherwise, you are testing the tow
vehicle's battery.
2. Press the green TEST button on the control
box located inside the frame of the trailer. The
green indicator light should illuminate if the
battery is fully charged. If the yellow or red
indicator lights illuminate, the unit's battery
should be charged before towing the trailer.
IMPORTANT
If the battery is weak or dead (red indicator, even
after charging), as indicated by the indicator light,
the battery must be replaced.
3. Plug the trailer into the tow vehicle. The
yellow "Charging" light should be ON.
4. Test the system by pulling the pin out of the
break-away switch. The battery will activate
the brakes. (Note: Do not use this kit as a
parking brake). The battery should be charged
and tested prior to each trailer outing.
