NOTE: If using a wiring harness, apply brake
pedal or manual slide knob while snapping connector to tow vehicle.
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. When the power is set correctly you should
feel unified braking between the trailer and
tow vehicle.
Optional Mounting Ball
(Purchased Seperately)
A. Double Sided Tape
B. Mounting Ball
C. Foam Gasket
D. Mounting Screw
1. Using mounting ball, find a desired location.
2. Attach double sided tape to back of mounting
ball.
3. With the other side of the double-sided tape,
temporarily attach mounting ball to desired
location.
4.
CAUTION
Check behind dash for wires, etc.
before drilling.
5. Using mounting ball as a template drill (3)
1/16” holes for a #6 screw size.
6. Permanently secure mounting ball using (3)
#6 x 3/8” screws supplied.
7. Insert mounting screw through bottom of the
control.
8. Place foam gasket on top of the control insert-
ing mounting screw through hole in gasket.
9. Attach control to mounting ball.
10. Rotate control to desired position and tighten
mounting screw until snug.
Changing the Display Orientation
To change the display orientation from right side
up to upside down:
1. Connect white, red and blue wire to tow
vehicle.
2. While applying the brake pedal or manual slide
knob, connect Black Wire (Battery) to the tow
vehicle.
3. Display should now be upside down.

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.
