Installation Instructions
The performance of your Warner Electric 12-1/4"
x 3-1/2" brake depends greatly on accurate
installation. Since proper installation helps to
assure long life and dependable performance,
please follow these installation instructions
carefully. Pay particular attention to drawing
I-26117 on page 2 of the manual.
General Instructions
The Warner Electric 12-1/4" x 3-1/2" utility
brake is designed for use with one-piece steel
armature number 110-0124, mounted inside
the brake drums.
For other possible combinations, please consult
your Warner Electric sales representative or
Warner Electric at 815-389-3771.

Axle Flange
Flanges available from a factory source.
A. Preparing the Brake Mounting Surface
Before installing the brake, check the
concentricity and squareness of the brake
drum to the hub and spindle. To do this,
mount the drum on the spindle according
to the manufacturer’s specifications.
The following tolerances must be held:
Drum friction surface concentric to spindle
centerline within .015-inch T.I.R. (Total Indicator
Reading).
Armature surface square to spindle within
.020-inch T.I.R.
B. Installing on Axle Flanges
1.The axle flange on which the brake mounts
must have a 4.500/4.498-inch pilot diameter.
2.This axle flange must be welded concentric
to the spindle within .015-inch T.I.R.
(measured at the pilot diameter). The axle
must be square to the spindle within
.010-inch T.I.R. (measured at the brake
mounting surface). Refer to drawing I-26117.

C. Installing the Brake
Note: Brakes are designed as either right hand
or left hand assemblies by the RH or LH
marked on the outside of each backing plate.
(See Figure 1). The arrow on Figure 1 indicates
the direction of forward travel.
Figure 1 - Brake Designation
3.Tighten each of the six nuts with
lockwashers to 71-79 ft.-lbs. torque. Tighten
them alternately and evenly before applying
full torque (see Figure 3). Note that the pivot
pin also serves as a mounting stud.
Retorque the nuts after 50 miles of driving
and periodically thereafter.
4.After the brake has been mounted to the
flange, operate the lever arm to assure that it
moves freely.
1.Mount the brake to the axle flange with the
anchor pin at the top, the magnet at the
bottom, and the curve of the actuating lever
pointing toward the front of the trailer (see
Figure 2).

2.Check to be sure that the brake backing
plate mates properly to the axle flange pilot.
The brake must be square with the spindle
when bolted into place.

D. Preparing the Brake Drum
Armature mounting holes are drilled in the brake
drum as indicated on the dimensional drawing
I-26117, page 2.

(.224/.205 thick)
a. Fasten this one-piece steel armature
inside the drum with (6) 1/4-inch
diameter flat head machine screws
with nuts and lockwashers (Step b)
or (6) 80° flat head rivets (Step c).
b. Fasten each machine screw with two
nuts tightened against one another to
prevent loosening. Peening the ends of
the screws is recommended as an
additional safeguard against loosening.

c. Install the rivets according to the drum
manufacturer’s recommendations.
d. Install the brake drum according to the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
E. Adjusting the Brake
1.New brakes come pre-adjusted from the
factory and normally should not require
additional adjustment when mated withnew drums. The drum should, however,
be checked for freedom of rotation after
mounting. If dragging occurs, the brake
must be readjusted.
2.Brakes should always be readjusted when
they are installed with remachined drums.
Note: Brakes should never be installed in
used drums without remachining the drum
braking surface.
3.Follow these instructions to adjust the brake:
c. Back off the adjuster (downward motion
of the adjusting tool) until the wheel turns
freely, usually 4 to 5 notches on the
adjusting nut.
d. Replace the plug to keep out dirt and
moisture.
e. Brake readjustment is recommended after
the first 500 miles of operation (when
shoes and drums have been seated).
F. Installing the Trailer Brake Wiring
1.Wire the brakes in parallel according to the
wiring diagram (Figure 5).
2.Use good quality, insulated, crimp-type
connectors that fit 1/4-inch diameter
terminals to attach the wires to the brake.
3.Remove the top nut, and check that the
bottom nut remains tight.
a. Remove the adjuster plug located at
the bottom of the brake and insert an
adjusting tool (see Figure 4).
Figure 4 - Brake Adjustment
b. With the wheel off the ground, expand
the shoes until the brake drags
significantly. The shoes are expanded
by the upward motion of the adjusting
tool which turns the adjusting nut.
4.Install one connector over each 1/4-inch
stud terminal with a star washer under the
connector. Lock into place with the top nut.

Towing Products Required with Your
12-1/4" x 3-1/2" Brakes
The following section, “Towing Products
Required with Your 12-1/4" x 3-1/2" Brakes,”
describes associated controls and components
necessary to complete your brake system
installation. Please read it carefully.
Controller
Warner Electric has one controller available
specifically for use with the 12-1/4" x 3-1/2"
brake. The Utility Controller, Warner Electric part
number 1300-76, is rated at 30 amps and 4, 6 or
8 brakes. This controller is designed to properly
synchronize the towing vehicle and trailer
brakes. Using other controllers may result in
excessive trailer brake torque causing jerky
braking and poor towing vehicle-to-vehicle
braking synchronization.
Load Control
The installation of 12-1/4" x 3-1/2" brakes on
any trailer which will operate with loads less than
rated capacity or with varying loads requires a
load control, Warner Electric part number
1300-78, to be installed in the towing vehicle.
The Warner Electric Load Control compensates
for trailer load variations by limiting the
maximum torque output of the brakes by adding
dropping resistance in the electrical control line.
When towing a trailer loaded to brake rated
capacity, the Load Control must be set at
maximum braking. When pulling an empty or
partially loaded trailer, the Load Control must be
set between maximum and minimum braking at
a position just before the point at which trailer
tire skidding occurs when actuating the hand
control fully on. Failure to install and use the
Warner Electric Load Control will result in
excessive brake torque when stopping a trailer
loaded to less than brake capacity.
Warner Electric’s Utility Controller has an
adjustment knob to control trailer brake torque.
Labeled “More” (braking power) and “Less”
(braking power), this adjustment does not affect
maximum braking capacity of the trailer brakes.
Because of the wide variety of towing vehicles
encountered, balancing towing vehicle brakes
and trailer brakes is necessary for smooth,
synchronized stops. To achieve this, the
controller adjustment should be set to provide
a slight lead in trailer braking over towing vehicle
braking. Turning the adjustment knob in the
“More” direction will increase the trailer brake
rate of application, while turning in the “Less”
direction will decrease the trailer brake rate of
application. When proper adjustment has been
achieved, there should be no sensation of the
trailer pushing or pulling the towing vehicle
during a stop. When this setting has been
reached, no further adjustment should be
required. For operating with varying load
weights, read the following section on “Load
Control.”
Front Axle Resistor
The Warner Electric Front Axle Resistor, part
number 1100-41, is designed to balance braking
forces between front and rear axle on two-axle
trailers. Utility trailers with tandem axle rocker
arm suspension present a typical application.
This suspension tends to transfer weight from
the front axle to the rear axle during braking,
allowing the front wheels to prematurely lock
and skid. By automatically reducing the current
flow, the Warner Electric Front Axle Resistor
reduces front axle braking forces to improve
brake balance, reduce tire wear, and minimize
the wheel lock-up.
