WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

3. A Fuse or Circuit Breaker of appropriate rating must be installed to protect the vehicle system. Please

refer to the installation instructions on page 7 for speciﬁ c instructions on where to install the Fuse or

Circuit Breaker and for appropriate Fuse or Circuit Breaker rating. The Fuse or Circuit Breaker must be

installed as close as possible to the battery.

4. Ensure the remote head push-button activates correctly when installed into surfaces with a thickness

greater than 3.75mm. Failure to activate correctly would result in not being able to activate the override

function or change modes.

5. Ensure that the wire(s) and all connections used to install the Tow-Pro

Elite are suitably rated to

supply the required current to simultaneously operate the trailer electric brakes and stop lamps.

Incorrect wiring can result in reduced (or total loss of) trailer braking and/or damage to property or

persons.

6. The Tow-Pro

Elite is suitable for all trailers with electric brakes on up to three axles. Note that for

trailers above 4.5t gross, special testing is required under Australian Design Rules. For these trailers,

please consult with an automotive safety engineer before using the Tow-Pro

Elite.

1. Ensure that a correct grounding point is used. Vehicles often have ungrounded metal reinforcements

under the dash and these points are not suitable grounds. Bad grounding of the unit will result in poor

or no operation.

2. The Tow-Pro

Elite does not act as a trailer lights voltage converter. If the trailer brake lights operate

on a different voltage, damage to the vehicle; trailer and/or Tow-Pro

Elite and associated wiring may

result. This may also result in reduced (or total loss of) trailer braking.

3. When installing the Tow-Pro

Elite Remote Control to a thin panel, washers are recommended to

reinforce the structure of the panel.

4. Do NOT exceed Tow Vehicle and Trailer weights and speciﬁ cations. Failure to abide by the towing

regulations, including maximum loads, may result in a ﬁ ne, or in case of an accident, refusal of the

insurance claim, and the possibility of further legal action.

If the tow vehicle or trailer’s maximum load is exceeded, police and transport authorities have the

power to order the combination off the road until the issue is corrected. This may necessitate leaving

the trailer on the side of the road while a vehicle with suitable towing capacity is sourced or the trailer

load is reduced. Please contact your local authorities for further information.

5. If no trailer is connected, Active Calibration will occur as normal without any indication from the LED.

The LED will already be Blue when the trailer is connected. Essentially, whether a trailer is connected

or not, just drive normally and Active Calibration will ensure the Tow-Pro

Elite learns the correct

direction of travel.
