The breakaway switch is a device that will activate the trailer brakes should
the trailer become disconnected from the tow vehicle. A cable is connected
to a pin inserted into the breakaway switch. You must route this cable so that
it will pull the pin out of the breakaway switch if the trailer begins to separate
from the tow vehicle, which in turn will activate the trailer brakes.

1. Pull the pin with its attached cable out of the breakaway switch. Note
the other end of the cable is a terminal loop.
2. Route the pin and its attached cable through the safety cable latch-
point on the tow vehicle, and then back through its own terminal loop.
3. Reinsert the pin into the breakaway switch.
IMPORTANT: Always keep the pin inserted in the breakaway switch, even
when not towing. Failure to have the pin inserted will drain your
pressure washer's battery. Never use the breakaway switch as a
parking brake.
