General Safety
Brakes
Your trailer brakes must be maintained and adjusted to operate
correctly at all times. Failure to maintain and adjust brakes as outlined
in the maintenance schedule may result in a failure causing death or
serious injury.
WARNING
Brake Controller
Your trailer is fitted with drum type electric brakes. The tow vehicle MUST be fitted with an appropriate brake
controller for the trailer brakes to activate and brake. The company will not hand over a trailer to be towed by a
vehicle without a suitable controller installed. Your trailer brakes are designed to work in synchronization with
your tow vehicle brakes. Never use your tow vehicle or trailer brakes alone to stop the combined load. Your trailer
and tow vehicle will seldom have the correct amperage flow to the brake magnets to give you comfortable, safe
braking unless you make proper brake system adjustments. Changing trailer load and driving conditions, as well
as uneven alternator and battery output, can mean unstable current flow to your brake magnets. It is therefore
imperative that you maintain and adjust your brakes as set forth in the controller manual, use a properly
modulated brake controller and perform the synchronization/adjustment procedure recommended by the brake
controller supplier.
Brake Maintenance and Adjustment
Your trailer is fitted with electric drum type brakes. Drum brakes need regular maintenance and adjustment to
perform correctly and wear evenly. The service intervals are outlined in the maintenance schedule and must be
followed.
Maintenance
Your trailer requires regular general maintenance to keep it in roadworthy and safe condition. Overall condition
of your trailer is dependent on regularity and extent of general maintenance. Always follow the Maintenance
schedule contained in this manual. More extreme conditions may warrant more frequent maintenance in
particular, water crossings, exposure to saltwater environments and extended travel over rough terrain.
