DO NOT OPERATE THE SEMITRAILER
WITH ANY KNOWN FAULT THAT
MIGHT ENDANGER THE OCCUPANTS,
NEARBY WORKERS, OTHER TRAFFIC,
THE LOAD, OR THE EQUIPMENT.
WARNING
DO NOT OPERATE THE SEMITRAILER
UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THE OPERA-
TOR’S MANUAL AND COMPLETELY
UNDERSTAND THE PROPER USE AND

3-0.1 Air Brake System
The air brake system of the trailer is operated
from the towing vehicle after coupling. The towing
vehicle’s air system must be coupled to the trailer
and charged to 90 psi minimum before the brakes
can adequately function.
3-0.2 Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
The Anti-Lock Brake System of the semitrailer
is constant powered by the auxiliary (blue) circuit
of the seven way electrical connector, with backup
power from the stop lamp (red) circuit, and ground
through the white wire. It is necessary that the blue
circuit is hot when the tractor key switch is on. The
blue circuit on the trailer may also not be used to
power any additional auxiliary devices while the
semitrailer is moving forward. If a fault exists in the
ABS, normal braking will occur, but the wheels
may lock. Service the ABS as soon as possible.
CAUTION
THE AUXILIARY (BLUE) CIRCUIT IS
FOR POWERING THE SEMITRAILER
ABS. THIS CIRCUIT MUST BE HOT
WHEN THE TRACTOR KEY SWITCH IS
ON. NO OTHER ELECTRICAL DEVICES
MAY BE POWERED BY THIS CIRCUIT
WHILE THE SEMITRAILER IS MOVING
FORWARD.
CAUTION
IF A FAULT EXISTS IN THE SEMI-
TRAILER ABS, NORMAL BRAKING
WILL OCCUR, BUT WHEELS MAY
LOCK. SERVICE THE ABS AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE.
