Electronic Brake Control

For 2 to 4 brake applications

Components of the Brake Control

A. Power Knob

B. Manual Slide Knob

C. Bracket Mounting Holes

D. Bi-Colored Light

Important Facts to Remember

1. Do not mount or activate RF generating items

(cell phones, two way radios) near (less than

12") the Brake Control.

2. CAUTION Reversing the connection to a

breakaway battery on the trailer will destroy the

Brake Control.

3. CAUTION Disconnect trailer plug from the

tow vehicle prior to testing a breakaway switch

or you may destroy the Brake Control.

4. The light is:

• GREEN when trailer is connected

• RED when brake pedal or manual is activated

and trailer is connected.

• Flashing RED or OFF when trailer is not con-

nected.

5. The GREEN light draws 10 milliamperes of cur-

rent from tow vehicle. It would take over 5,000

hours to drain the tow vehicles battery.

6. WARNING The Gross Combined Weight

Rating (GCWR) must never exceed the vehicle

manufacturers recommendation.

7. This control specfically designed for use with

electric trailer brakes.

Installation Guide

A. Mounting Bracket

B. #6 x 3/8” Screws

C. Mounting Holes

1. CAUTION Drilling or use of longer screws

may damage unit.

2. Securely mount bracket to a solid surface.

3. Insert supplied #6 x 3/8”screws on each side

into the mounting holes.

4. Adjust Brake Control to desired position and

tighten screws until snug.

Adjusting the Power to the

Trailer Brakes

Once the control has been installed, it is necessary

to set the power needed to stop the trailer during a

braking event.

1. Connect trailer to tow vehicle.

2. Locate the manual slide knob and power knob

on the control.

3. Turn power knob to minimum. Turn power knob

in the + direction about a 1/4 of a turn.

4. Drive tow vehicle and trailer on a dry level

paved surface at 25 mph and apply manual slide

knob.

✓ If trailer brakes lock up:

❑ Turn power down using power knob.

✓ If braking was not sufficient:

❑ Turn power up using power knob.

5. Repeat Step (4) until power has been set to a

point just below wheel lock up or at a sufficient

force as to achieve maximum braking power.

NOTE:

1. Always warm the trailer's brakes before

setting the power. Warm trailer brakes tend to

be more responsive than cold brakes. To

warm trailer brakes, drive a short distance (1/4

mile) at 45 MPH with manual lever engaged

enough to cause trailer braking at a low level.

2. WARNING The power should never be set

high enough to cause trailer brakes to lock up.

Skidding trailer wheels can cause loss of

directional stability of trailer and tow vehicle.

3. The power may need to be adjusted for

different load weights and road conditions.

4. Not all trailer brakes will lock up due to

various conditions. However, inability to lock

up the brakes generally indicates the need for

an inspection to determine the cause.

5. The driver may find it necessary to readjust

the power to a lower setting for extended peri-

ods of in town stop and go driving. It is

always good practice to readjust the power

when returning to highway driving.

Troubleshooting Chart

Appendix A: Trailer Brake Adjustment**

Brakes should be adjusted after the first 200 miles of

operation when the brake shoes and drums have “seated” and

at 3000 mile intervals, or as use and performance requires. The

brakes should be adjusted in the following manner:

1. Jack up trailer and secure on adequate capacity jack

stands. Follow trailer manufacturers recommendations for

lifting and supporting the unit. Check that the wheel and

drum rotate freely.

WARNING Do not lift or support trailer on any part of

the axle or the suspension system.

2. Remove the adjusting hole cover from the adjusting slot

on the bottom of the brake backing plate.

3. With a screwdriver or standard adjusting tool, rotate the

starwheel of the adjuster assembly to expand the brake

shoes. Adjust the brake shoes out until the pressure of the

linings against the drum makes the wheel very difficult to

turn.

Note: With drop spindle axles, a modified adjusting tool with

about an 80 degree angle should be used.

4. Then rotate the starwheel in the opposite direction until

the wheel turns freely with a slight lining drag.

5. Replace the adjusting hole cover and lower the wheel to

the ground.

6. Repeat the above procedure on all brakes.

WARNING Never crawl under your trailer unless it is

resting on properly placed jack stands.

Follow the trailer manufacturers recommendations for lifting

and supporting the unit. Do not lift or place supports on any

part of the suspension system.
