Function Tests
Test the Breakaway Brake
1 With the tow vehicle still attached to the trailer,
connect the pull pin cable to the tow vehicle so
that the pull pin will be pulled out before all of
the slack in the safety chains is taken up. Do
not connect the pull pin cable to a safety chain
or to the hitch assembly. This would keep the
breakaway brake system from operating when it
is needed.
2 Remove the pull pin from the switch, release the
parking brake, and test tow the trailer, at less
than 5 mph (8kph).
Result: You should feel the trailer resisting
being towed, but the wheels will not necessarily
be locked. If the brakes do not function, do not
tow the trailer until the brakes are repaired.
3 Immediately replace the pull pin. The
breakaway brake system battery discharges
rapidly when the pull pin is removed.
