Hardware List:
- Voyager brake control unit.
- Mounting bracket.
- Screws for mounting.
Installation Instructions:
Mounting the Brake Control:
- Select a Mounting Location:
- Ensure a flat, solid surface between -20° nose down and 70° nose up.
- Avoid any area with potential interference or unstable mounting.
- Attach the Mounting Bracket:
- Use the provided #6 x 3/8” screws to securely mount the bracket.
- Avoid over-tightening or using longer screws to prevent damage.
- Install the Brake Control:
- Attach the control to the bracket and adjust its position.
- Tighten the screws snugly to secure the unit.
Leveling the Sensor:
- Connect the trailer to the tow vehicle. The bi-colored light should glow green.
- Turn the Power Knob to maximum (clockwise).
- Press and hold the brake pedal.
- Adjust the Level Knob:
- Turn it counter-clockwise until the light changes from green to red.
- Slowly turn it clockwise until an orange light is visible.
- Light Settings:
- Dim orange: Normal setting.
- Bright orange: Aggressive braking.
- Dim red: More aggressive braking.
Adjusting Power to Trailer Brakes:
- Connect the trailer to the tow vehicle.
- Turn the Power Knob to the 12 o’clock position.
- Drive at 25 mph on a dry, level surface.
- Apply the Manual Slide Knob:
- If trailer brakes lock up, decrease power (turn counter-clockwise).
- If braking is insufficient, increase power (turn clockwise).
- Repeat until the braking is smooth and sufficient without wheel lock-up.
Fine-Tuning:
- Make several slow stops to assess braking response.
- If brakes grab too much, reduce aggressiveness by turning the Level Knob clockwise.
- If braking is delayed, increase aggressiveness by turning the Level Knob counter-clockwise.
Maintenance:
- Regularly inspect connections and ensure wires are secure.
- Adjust brakes after the first 200 miles of use and every 3,000 miles thereafter.
- Keep the unit clean and free from debris.
Troubleshooting Guide:
Issue | Probable Cause | Solution |
---|---|---|
No green light when connected. | Corrosion or loose ground/power wires. | Inspect and clean connections. |
No red light with manual knob. | Low power or short on brake wire. | Increase power or inspect wiring. |
