Manual

5. The Tow-Pro

™

Classic 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

™

Classic.

6. Ensure that the Tow-Pro

™

Classic Remote Head is not mounted in vehicle head-

impact zones. Doing so may result in injury to the driver and/or passenger in the

result of an accident.

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

™

Classic does not act as a trailer lights voltage converter. The Tow-

Pro

™

Classic is designed to operate the trailer brake lights under certain conditions. If

the trailer brake lights require a different voltage to the input from the vehicle damage

to the trailer brake lights may result.

3. When installing the Tow-Pro

™

Classic Remote Controls 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.
