Symptom
Even Brake doesn’t fit properly in
the towed vehicle.
The pedal clamp doesn’t fit the
brake pedal securely.
The air cylinder shaft will not ex-
tend to connect the pedal clamp to
the brake pedal.
The pedal clamp does not extend
to the brake pedal, when Even Brake
is properly installed.
The brake pedal clamp comes into
contact with the Even Brake hous-
ing.
The towed vehicle’s seat moves af-
ter Even Brake depresses the brake
pedal.
Even Brake “climbs” up the seat.
The brakes are being applied be-
fore I want them to, or when I don’t
think they should.
A quick acceleration of the mo-
torhome sometimes activates Even
Brake, even though I have not applied
the motorhome brakes.
After towing, there is excessive
brake dust on the wheels of the towed
vehicle, or an unusual odor coming
from the towed vehicle’s brakes.
Solution
Positioning
Use one or more foot extensions to elevate Even Brake over obstruc-
tions such as duct work, a door jamb or a center console that juts into the
available space. Refer to the “Vehicle-Specific Components” section.
Use a pair of pliers to bend the tabs of the pedal clamp for a better
fit. If the pedal clamp still doesn’t fit, contact ROADMASTER.
The air reservoir is full of air. Release the air by pressing the air relief
button (Figure 1).
Use an optional air cylinder shaft extension to extend the reach of the
air cylinder shaft. (Refer to the “Vehicle-Specific Components” section.)
Brake pedals that are somewhat horizontal cause the pedal clamp to
tilt, and to interfere with the Even Brake housing when it retracts. Use an
optional air cylinder shaft extension to gain additional clearance. (Refer
to the “Vehicle-Specific Components” section.)
Readjust the seat and/or the adjustable seat pad. Refer to Step B in
“Operation” — “Adjust the feet and the seat pad.”
After adjusting the seat, make certain that it is locked. Then, press
the “Test” button (Figure 11) and watch the seat as the air cylinder shaft
extends and retracts.
•
If there is a rubberized floor mat under Even Brake, remove it during
towing.
•
Check the position of the adjustable seat pad. The seat pad serves
as an anchor point, to keep Even Brake down as it presses the brake
pedal. Adjust the seat pad up or down, if necessary.
Brake pressure setting
Readjust the braking sensitivity preference to a lower setting. Refer to
Step G in “Operation” — “Set braking force and braking sensitivity prefer-
ences.”
Lower the braking sensitivity preference by one setting. Refer to Step G
in “Operation” — “Set braking force and braking sensitivity preferences.”
Readjust the braking sensitivity and/or force preference to a lower
setting. Refer to Step G in “Operation” — “Set braking force and braking
sensitivity preferences.”
E
ven Brake will report symptoms and solutions through the motorhome monitor’s LED display, the LCD
text display, and also, in some instances, with an audio alert. Refer to the “Communications” sections (“Over-
view” and “Reference Chart”) in this manual for further information.
The solutions to other symptoms are listed below.
