- Turn the Power Knob 1/4 turn in the + direction.
-
Testing Brakes:
- Connect the trailer and drive at 25 mph on a dry, level surface.
- Apply the Manual Slide Knob:
- If brakes lock up: Reduce power using the Power Knob.
- If braking is insufficient: Increase power using the Power Knob.
-
Fine-Tuning Power:
- Repeat the above step until braking is smooth, just below the point of wheel lock-up.
Troubleshooting Guide:
Condition | Possible Cause | Solution |
---|---|---|
No trailer brakes (Manual Slide) | Power set to minimum | Adjust Power Knob upward. |
No brakes with pedal activation | Incorrect Red Wire connection | Verify Red Wire at stoplight switch. |
Weak trailer braking | Power too low | Increase Power Knob setting. |
Intermittent braking | Poor ground connection | Check White Wire ground. |
Brakes too strong | Power too high | Reduce Power Knob setting. |
Flashing Red Light | Trailer not connected or open wire | Check trailer wiring and connections. |
Constant Green Light | Short in brake line to ground | Inspect Blue Wire for short circuit. |
Safety Notes:
- Warm trailer brakes before testing by driving 1/4 mile at 45 mph with light manual braking.
- Adjust power based on load weight and road conditions.
- Do not set power so high that trailer brakes lock up, as this can cause loss of control.
Maintenance:
- Inspect trailer brakes every 3,000 miles or as recommended.
- Adjust brakes as necessary for optimal performance.
