HITCHING TRAILER (cont.)
9.
If the break-away lever and cable are not located correctly as described above, due to either the cable being
pulled during use or by accident, it MUST be reset prior to the trailer being moved .
7.
Attach the actuator's break-away chain S-hook
securely to one of the tow vehicle hitch's safety chain
connection points (see Figure 3). Confirm that the
trailer's safety chains are adjusted relative to the
actuator's breakaway chain as noted above. DO
NOT loop the breakaway chain around a bracket and
hook it back onto itself.
8.
Before towing, check that the break-away lever and
cable are properly positioned as shown in Figure 4.
The barrel stop on the break-away cable should be
within 1/8 inch of the break-away lever. If the barrel
stop is not visible or is located elsewhere, the
actuator MUST be disassembled to determine the
cause of the problem. Note that the break-away
lever must be rotated fully to the rear with the
break-away catch pin securely located under the
break-away spring. The break-away catch pin will
be in the lever's upper-most notch.
