TRAILER BRAKES
If your trailer is equipped with brakes, follow the safety and
maintenance tips listed below for best service.
Always hook up the brake breakaway cable securely to the tow
vehicle (should the trailer come loose, cable will activate the brakes
to help slow runaway trailer). Before towing, make sure that the
emergency breakaway cable has not been inadvertently set. Reset to
normal position by pushing the lever up. This will release the E-stop
cable (see Fig. 6, page 68 on how to reset if indicator bead is
exposed).
Always insert hitch pin after latching coupler to trailer ball.
Disc brake trailers are equipped with an electric solenoid valve to
prevent the disc brakes from being activated while reversing your
trailer. Disc brakes will operate at full capacity in either direction. It is
therefore, essential that the wire from the solenoid valve be
connected to the reverse light wire of the tow vehicle. When the tow
vehicle is put in reverse gear, the solenoid will deactivate the brakes
and allow you to back up.
To check proper operation of solenoid valve, place tow vehicle gear
shift in reverse (with engine shut off and ignition on). Backup lights
should turn on and an audible “click” should be heard at the valve. If
lights come on and no “click” is heard, check for an electrical wiring or
connection problem. The reverse solenoid is located on the rear of the
master cylinder.
Check cap of master cylinder often for tightness.
Follow routine maintenance and inspection for disc brakes as outlined
in your Disc Brake Manual.
To minimize corrosion, it is necessary for the disc brake calipers and
rotors to be rinsed off with fresh water after trailer has been immersed in
salt water.
INSPECTION
To assure continued proper operation of our trailer disc brakes, annual
inspection is recommended.

Saltwater model trailers, although
designed for the saltwater environment,
require specific cleaning and wash-down after each use. Failure to do
so will cause excessive corrosion that could lead to trailer damage and
part failure, which would not be covered under the limited warranty.
Please see your Ranger dealer for proper trailer cleaning procedures.
CAUTION
Make sure back up lights do not come on
when tow vehicle transmission is in any
gear other than reverse.
