If equipped, the optional disc brakes on your trailer
are designed to energize automatically when the tow
vehicle’s brakes are applied. As the tow vehicle slows
or stops, the forward momentum of the trailer against
the hitch ball creates hydraulic pressure inside the
brake actuator. The hydraulic pressure presses the
brake calipers against the rotors, effectively slowing
and ultimately stopping the rotation of the wheels.
The advantages offered by disc brakes over drum
style brakes include:
• Improved resistance to fade on downhill
grades.
•
Self
adjusting.
• Maintain braking effi ciency throughout wear.
• Recover quickly after being submerged.
• Less susceptible to corrosion.
• Require less maintenance.
Disc Brakes (Option)
Check your brake system before each trip.
NOTICE
Operation, Care and Maintenance
Read and understand the instructions in your trailer
owner’s manual regarding towing capability, hitch
requirements, and other towing considerations.
A light surface rust on the rotors is normal if the
trailer has not been used in a week or so. The brake
pads will wipe the rotors clean in the fi rst few miles
of travel.
However, if the trailer has been idle for an extended
period of time or has been frequently submerged in
saltwater without being fl ushed out, severe corrosion
can occur. A heavy coating of rust must be cleaned
or the components replaced before towing to ensure
safe braking.
Check for rust damage annually. More frequently if
used in very humid environmens, or in saltwater.
REFER TO THE MANUFACTURER’S MANUAL IN
YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL PACKET FOR COMPLETE
INSTRUCTIONS, INFORMATION AND WARRANTY.
If you have been in saltwater, the single most
important maintenance step for disc (or drum)
brakes is to fl ush them thoroughly with fresh
water.
NOTICE
!
CAUTION
DO NOT rely on the power trim/tilt system or
tilt support lever on your outboard to maintain
proper ground clearance for trailering. THE
OUTBOARD TILT SUPPORT LEVER IS NOT
INTENDED TO SUPPORT THE OUTBOARD FOR
TRAILERING
Trailering the Engine
It is best to trailer your boat with the outboard tilted
down in a vertical operating position.
However, if additional road clearance is required
due to railroad crossings, driveway clearance, trailer
bounce, etc., the outboard should be tilted up and
supported using an accessory outboard support
device.
