    Correct Use of Your Electric Brakes Your trailer brakes are designed to work in synchronisation with your tow vehicle brakes. Never use your tow vehicle or trailer brakes alone to stop the combined load. Your trailer and tow vehicle will seldom have the correct amperage flow to the brake magnets to give you comfortable, safe braking unless you make proper brake system adjustments.

  • Page 48: Magnets

    It is also recommended that the drum armature surface be refaced when replacing magnets. Magnets should also be replaced in pairs - both sides of the axle. Always use genuine MDC OEM parts. Shoes and Linings A simple visual inspection of your brake linings will tell if they are useable.
