3 OPERATION
3.1 Operation
The
Tow-Pro
™
Classic
offers a single mode of operation - User Controlled.
NOTE: It is important to consider the road surface and conditions - When changing
conditions we advise to review your controller settings and adjust according to your
preference.
The Tow-Pro™ Classic will apply the trailer brakes to the level set by the user on the
gain control knob. The gain control level, 0 to 10, will set the brakes from Zero trailer
braking to Full trailer brake application.
The braking level can be adjusted to suit varying trailer loads, braking requirements or
user comfort by adjusting the gain control knob on the remote head. The lower end of
the scale, below level 5, should be used as a starting point and adjusted accordingly
once braking requirements are established.
Should a lighter braking level be required, turning the gain control knob to a lower
number will reduce the trailer braking force. Similarly, turning the gain control knob to a
higher number will increase the trailer braking force.
The braking level will be indicated by the LED changing to a shade of RED when the
brakes are applied. The higher the braking level, the more RED the LED will glow.
3.2 Manual Override
Pressing the gain control knob whilst driving will apply the manual override brake. The
manual override brake will apply the trailer brakes only and will also apply the trailer
brake lights and will turn the LED indicator a shade of RED. The manual override is
designed to be used when the trailer brakes need to be applied without the vehicle
brakes, such as correcting trailer ‘sway’ whilst travelling.
The manual override will apply the trailer brakes to the level set on the gain
control knob. The braking force can be adjusted by turning the gain control knob,
either higher or lower, whilst applying the manual override brakes.
