Setup Steps
IMPORTANT
: Before you install RVibrake3, you must make sure your towed vehicle is
tow ready. Failure to do so can result in tire damage or excessive brake wear.
2)
Leaving about an inch of space behind the brake and the
rise in floorboard, attach the brake pedal claw to the brake
pedal of the towed vehicle. The lower part of the claw should
cradle the bottom of the brake pedal first, and then lift the
upper part of the claw over the top of the brake pedal.
3)
Slide RVibrake3 back towards the seat until RVibrake3
reaches the edge of the seat pan.
Note
: The seat pan is the slightly elevated area of the
floorboard where the driver’s seat is mounted.
If the towed vehicle has a flat floorboard with no seat pan to
push against, please refer to the
Stop Plate Installation
Guide
inside the Stop Plate package. Some towed vehicles
need adapters for the installation of the Stop Plate. See
rvibrake.com for more info.
4)
Plug RVibrake3’s 12-volt adapter into a 12-volt receptacle in
the towed vehicle.
Follow the Audio Assistants prompts for proper setup. The
compressor may or may not come on at this time.
5)
[Audio Prompt: Push the Auto Position button] The Auto
Position process automatically positions RVibrake3 in the seat
pan of the towed vehicle, and removes vacuum stored in the
towed vehicles braking reservoir.
Note:
If the claw rotates off over the top of the pedal, use the
lower hole in the back of the claw. If it rotates off under the
pedal, then use the upper hole.
1)
In the vehicle being towed, adjust the driver’s seat to the far back position and
place RVibrake3 on the floorboard so the black brake pedal claw is directly in front of
the brake pedal.
Note
: Carpeted floor mats do not need to be removed, but thicker rubber mats may
need to be removed prior to using RVibrake3 to provide an adequate pushing surface.

WARNING:
Never push Auto Position button unless connected to a brake pedal.
