WARNING:

If the controller is mounted incorrectly, the two axis accelerometer cannot
operate correctly and may cause loss of braking.

!

WARNING:

All four controller wires must be connected properly for the controller to operate
correctly.

Failure to properly connect all four wires can cause loss of trailer braking.

Improper 

wiring will destroy the controller and void the manufacturer’s warranty.

WARNING:

Use of longer screws than those provided can damage the unit and cause loss of
braking.

CAUTION:

Care must be taken to ensure that the mounting surface is rigid enough to prevent
excessive vibration.

Excessive vibration may result in poor performance.
