TRAILER BRAKES
Your electric drum brakes require a break-in period to achieve full and proper performance. This applies when you first receive your
new OP15 then after new parts are installed as part of your maintenance schedule. Your OP15 brakes should be adjusted after the
first 200 miles then every 3000 miles after that. We highly recommend that all brake adjustments, maintenance and ser-vicing is
carried out by a qualified technician at your OPUS dealership.
CAUTION! You may need to adjust your brakes more frequently dependent on variations in cargo weights.

and hitch bolts to ensure that they have maintained their tightness.
STEP 1: This should be completed with a torque wrench to 100 ft lbs.
