CAUTION

1.  Loose or corroded connections may cause brake failure.  Solder all wire connections.
2. Low or dead battery may cause brake failure.  Battery should be checked for adequate charge 

before each trip.  Do not use safety brake system as a parking brake.  When parked, secure trailer 

with wheel chocks.

3. Fatigue and wear may cause shorts or open circuits resulting in brake failure.  Test safety brake 

system for proper operation before each trip.

4. Obstructions may restrict breakaway pin from being pulled in an emergency.  Install switch and 

couple cable in a location that allows pin to be freely pulled.  Do not feed or loop cable through 

safety chain(s).

5. Rigid switch attachment may restrict breakaway pin from being pulled in an emergency.  Do not 

overtighten installation bolt.

6. Safety chain or hitch ball failure may be cause of trailer separation.  Attach breakaway cable 

directly to tow vehicle.  Do not attach to safety chains, hitch ball, or ball mount.

7. Frayed or damaged cable may result in brake failure.  Inspect cable before each trip and replace 

as needed.

1.  Testing breakaway system with wiring harness connected may result in trailer brake system 

damage.  Always disconnect wiring harness before testing.

Installation and Instructions for Use

1.  Select a location on trailer frame where switch can be mounted without interfering with jack, 

safety cables, or other tongue mounted equipment.  Location should also provide unobstructed 

operation and connection of cable.

2. Mark and drill 1/4” hole in trailer frame.
3. Use 1/4” bolt and lock-nut to install switch box with cable and pin aimed toward tow vehicle.  

Leave bolt and nut slightly loose to allow switch box ability to pivot.

4. Refer to schematic for proper connection with trailer brake system.  Properly insulate all 

connection points.

5. Testing:  Couple trailer to tow vehicle.  Be sure trailer plug is disconnected from tow vehicle.  Pull 

safety brake pin to engage brakes.  Attempt to pull the vehicle forward slowly.  When functioning 

properly, both driver and passenger trailer brakes should be activated.  If brakes do not engage 

properly, troubleshoot power supply, wiring connections, brake adjustment and function, and 

switch box.  Repair or replace as required for proper operation.

6. When ready to tow, connect safety cable directly to tow vehicle.  Make sure switch pin is in place, 

and properly connect trailer plug and safety chains.

Read and follow all safety and installation instructions when installing and towing with the 

Fastway® ZIP™ breakaway switch system.  Keep these instructions for future reference.
