Next, remove the break away pin (Figure 7) at the
front of the break away switch. The air cylinder and
pedal clamp will extend, confirming the proper opera-
tion of the break away system.
To retract the air cylinder and pedal clamp, recon-
nect the break away pin.
Before towing, charge the break away air reservoir,
as described above.
7. Confirm the proper operation of the towed vehicle’s
brake lights and turn signals —
A. Depress the motorhome brake pedal; confirm
that the towed vehicle’s brake lights illuminate. Activate
both of the motorhome turn signals; confirm that the
towed vehicle’s turn signals activate.
If the towed vehicle’s brake lights and turn signals
do not operate in tandem with the motorhome’s, you
must install a non-intrusive lighting system or re-wire
the towed vehicle. See “Brake light solutions.”
b. With one of the motorhome turn signals acti-
vated, depress the motorhome brake pedal. Confirm
that the towed vehicle’s brake lights and turn signal
both illuminate.
If the towed vehicle’s brake lights override the turn
signal, you must install a non-intrusive lighting system
or re-wire the towed vehicle. See “Brake light solu-
tions.”
by law, a towed vehicle’s turn signals and brake
lights must operate in tandem with the motorhome’s,
as described above. if they do not, drivers behind
the towed vehicle will not be alerted when the mo-
torhome stops or turns, which may cause an ac-
cident.
if the towed vehicle’s brake lights and turn sig-
nals do not operate in tandem with the motorhome’s,
either install a non-intrusive lighting system or re-
wire the towed vehicle according to the next sec-
tion, “brake light solutions.” then, test for proper
operation, as described in step 6, above.
failure to follow these instructions may cause
property damage, personal injury or even death.
