tional. Push safety pin back in to its original position.

Breakaway Switch
Mounted on an A-Frame
Attach breakaway switch cable securely in a straight
line to the tow vehicle. Locate attachments 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 disen-
gaged trailer.
