BRAKES AND HANDBRAKE
BRAKE CONTROLLER*
Your trailer is fitted with electric brakes that require a brake controller that can be operated from the driver’s seat.
1. Manually adjustable to provide the correct braking capability for varying road, off-road and load conditions.
2. They can be modulated to provide variable braking force, thus easing the brake load on the towing vehicle.
3. There is very little lag time between the moment the tow vehicle’s brakes are actuated and the moment the trailer
brakes are actuated.
4. They can provide some braking independent of the tow vehicle in the event of an emergency.
*The requirements can vary from state to state. It’s important to check what is required in your state.
OPERATION
When electrical current is fed into the system by the controller, it activates the electromagnets in the brakes. These
electromagnets are energized and are attracted to the rotating surface of the drums which moves the actuating levers in
the direction that the drums are turning thus applying pressure from the brake linings to the drum surface.
