Test Drive
In an open area, such as a large parking lot, drive forward and apply the trailer brakes
using the manual control. If the trailer brakes are weak adjust the output control to the
right. If the trailer brakes jerk or lockup adjust the output control to the left.
Repeat this step until rm braking is felt without lockup.
Once the output is set, drive forward and press brake pedal. The tow vehicle and trailer
should both make smooth stops. If the stops seems slow and more aggressive braking is
desired, move the sync control toward the front of the vehicle while holding the brake pedal.
If the stop seems too aggressive adjust the sync control toward the rear of the vehicle while
holding the brake pedal. Make several stops at various speeds and adjust sync until stops
are smooth and rm. Slight adjustment the output control may also be desirable.
Helpful Tips
Light pressure on the brake pedal will activate the trailer's brakes with no effect on the
tow vehicle's brakes. This is useful for gradual slowing on steep grades or before stops.
Periodic adjustment of the sync and output controls may be necessary to correct for
changing road conditions, trailer loading, brake wear and / or driver preference.
In some applications, when towing with hazard ashers on, the display will ash with the
hazard ashers. If the brake control is set aggressively this may be felt in the trailer brakes.
