3. Trailer brakes must be burnished to ensure proper trailer
braking. New electric brakes may contain a coating to
prevent rust during shipping. An unburnished brake will
reduce trailer braking capacity. The tow vehicle operator
must ensure trailer brakes are properly burnished to ensure
brakes are effective in slowing the tow vehicle. Sway
Command™ may not operate properly with improperly
burnished brakes. Discuss brake burnishing with the trailer
OEM.
4. Improperly adjusted tire pressure can reduce braking
effectiveness and can be a source of sway. Tire pressure
Notes
must be adjusted to the tire manufacturer's recommended
pressure.
Passed
5. Tires must have useful tread life left to ensure proper
braking. Tire tread below useful life could skid during
Passed
braking. The tow operator must ensure tires have useful
tread left.
Passed
6. Improperly loaded trailers can be a source of sway. At
Passed
higher speeds, if the trailer naturally sways, the tongue
weight and/or trailer weight distribution must be adjusted.
Passed
Sway Command™ could activate frequently in this situation
Passed
causing excessive brake wear. Ensure proper hitch tongue
Passed
weights are observed for the trailer.
Passed
7. The tow operator must ensure Sway Command™ is
operational by observing the Sway Command™ light pod
status. Ensure the light pod is illuminated green. See Sway
Command™ Status light for status other than green.
8. The operator should operate the tow vehicle safely as
driving and weather conditions allow. Sway Command
relies on braking and tire grip to mitigate sway, and overall
effectiveness of the system may be reduced or impaired in
slippery/icy driving conditions.
