Inspection & Setup
Electric brake trailers have a battery powered breakaway
brake system that activates the trailer brakes if the trailer
becomes unhitched from the truck while travelling. Attach
the brake cable to the hitch.
Plug the light cable into the truck light socket. Check the
lights to make sure that the clearance, turn, brake and tail
lights are working properly.
Pull the jack pin and rotate the jack or remove the jack
from the mount collar.
The Wylie DOT tag trailer is equipped with a height adjust
-
able hitch. The trailer should travel level when the tank is
full. To level the hitch, lower the jack to support the tongue,
remove the hitch bolts, adjust the tongue height as needed,
and reinsert the hitch bolts.

Trailer Hitch Details
A seven prong plug is provided with the trailer. If your
vehicle is not equipped with a corresponding receptacle,
change either the vehicle or trailer to match. If your vehicle
does have a seven prong receptacle, insert the trailer plug
and check to make sure that the two plugs are properly
matched i.e. brakes, lights and turn signals operate in the
correct order.
The DOT trailer is equipped with a breakaway brake kit that
will engage the electric trailer brakes if the trailer comes
unhooked from the truck. The breakaway brake kit consists
of a battery that is charged by the electrical system and an
engaging switch that is activated when a plug is pulled from
the switch by a cable. The breakaway brake cable should
be attached to the truck.
The breakaway brake system is equipped with a test but
-
ton and lights to show the status of the breakaway system
battery. Depress the test button to see the status.
Electric Hose Reel
If your sprayer is equipped with an electric hose reel, you
may or may not need additional set-up. Sprayers that
include an electric start engine will have the reel wired to
the sprayer motor battery and will not need any additional
set-up.
Sprayers with a pull start engine will require an auxiliary
power source for the electric hose reel. If an optional bat
-
tery was ordered with the sprayer, the necessary wiring
has been completed and the reel is ready for operation.
