12-1/4" x 3-1/2" Utility Brake 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.
Warner Electric Armature P/N 110-0124 (.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 with new 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.
