TEST DRIVE & ADJUSTMENT
Both the output and sensitivity can be adjusted to achieve smooth,
firm stops. Output and sensitivity adjustments should only be made
while stopped, with the transmission in park or neutral, parking
brake applied, foot off the brake pedal, and no manual control
actuation.
Note:
Perform the adjustments in a safe environment
with minimal vehicle traffic.
Starting with the output adjustment, drive forward on a dry and
level paved or concrete surface. At approximately 25 mph, apply
the vehicle's brakes. If trailer braking is insufficient, increase the
max output setting in the brake controller application. If the trailer
brakes lock up, decrease the max output. Repeat this process
until stops are firm, just short of lock up.
Once the output is set, adjust the sensitivity by driving forward
at approximately 25 mph and press the brake pedal. The vehicle
and trailer should make a smooth stop. If the stop seems slow and
more aggressive braking is desired, increase the sensitivity level
through the brake controller application. If the stop seems too
aggressive, decrease the sensitivity level in the application.
Make several stops at various speeds and adjust the sensitivity until
stops are smooth and firm. Slight adjustment to the output control
may also be desirable.
Note:
If any problems occur during setup,
refer to the 'Troubleshooting Guide' on the last page of this manual.
