Correct Use of Your Electric Brakes
Your trailer brakes are designed to work in synchronisation with your tow vehicle brakes. Never use your tow vehicle
or trailer brakes alone to stop the combined load. Your trailer and tow vehicle will seldom have the correct amperage
flow to the brake magnets to give you comfortable, safe braking unless you make proper brake system adjustments.
Changing trailer load and driving conditions, as well as uneven alternator and battery output, can mean unstable current
flow to your brake magnets. It is therefore imperative that you maintain and adjust your brakes as set forth in the
controller manual, use a properly modulated brake controller and perform the synchronisation/adjustment procedure
recommended by the brake controller supplier.
Important Safety Notice
Proven and in some cases approved service methods and correct repair procedures are essential
for the safe, reliable operation of the brakes, suspension and axles as well as the personal safety
of the individual doing the work. This manual intends to provide general directions for performing
service and repair work with tested, effective techniques. By following these guidelines, it will help
assure
reliability. The numerous variations in procedures, techniques, tools and parts for servicing axles, as well as in the skill
of the individual doing the work will determine outcomes. This manual cannot possibly anticipate all such variations nor
provide advice or cautions as to each. Accordingly, anyone who departs from the instructions provided in this manual
must first establish that they neither compromise their personal safety nor the vehicle integrity by their choice of
methods, tool’s or parts.
*If at all in doubt please refer all repairs and maintenance to a suitably qualified or experienced mechanical repairer.
*Market Direct Campers accepts no liability for personal injury, loss or damage resulting from incorrect applications,
methods and failure to perform maintenance safely and correctly.
Brake Adjustment
Brakes should be adjusted (1) after the first 300 km’s of operation when the brake shoes and drums have “seated,” (2) at
5000 km’s intervals, (3) or as use and performance requires. The brakes should be adjusted in the following manner:
Never crawl under your trailer unless it is resting on properly placed jack stands. Do not place supports
on any part of the suspension system and use the designated jack point or under the spring base plate to
jack trailer.
Brake Cleaning and Inspection
Your trailer brakes must be inspected and serviced at 5000km or more often as required by use and performance.
Magnets and shoes must be changed when they become worn or scored to avoid inefficient vehicle braking.
Brake Lubrication
This should only be done by qualified persons.
Caution
Do not get grease or oil on the brake linings, drums or magnets.
