Figure R5: Brake Actuator & Coupling Assembly and Disc
Brake
For boat models with the Surge Brake Actuator and Cou-
pling Assembly shown in Figure R6, lift the release
handle to unlock the coupler. Push down on the re-
lease handle/locking lever to lock the trailer to the ball
hitch. The locking pin, provided with the trailer, or a
padlock must be inserted in the locking lever hole. This
ensures the coupler’s locking lever remains in the
locked position during the towing of the trailer. Refer
to Section R-3 Operation for additional information on
couplers and hitching to the tow vehicle.
NOTICE
Anti-sway devices as used on recreational vehi-
cles (RV’s) are not applicable to surge brake
systems and should not be used on Four
Winns® trailers.
DO NOT use a trailer hitch with moving parts.
The brakes could activate when traveling down-
hill. Always use a fixed hitch.
If the brakes are wet from loading, travel at a slow speed
and apply the brakes on your towing vehicle several
times to “dry” out the trailer brakes.
