Adjust the feet and the seat pad

feet for some vehicles, or it may be necessary to add
one or more optional extensions — see the “Vehicle-
Specific Components” section in this manual.)
3.
With a wrench, tighten the lock nut at the top of
each foot extension (Figure 6).
CAUTION
Unless the lock nuts are tightened with a wrench,
the feet may vibrate loose during towing, and Even
Brake may shift from the installed position. Unless
Even Brake is properly positioned, it will not func-
tion at full capacity — the pedal clamp will not ap-
ply the proper braking pressure against the brake
pedal.
4.
Find a bracing point on the front of the driver’s seat
for the adjustable seat pad — the seat pad stabilizes
Even Brake, keeping it down as it presses against the
brake pedal. Press the front of the seat to find the
firmest point for the seat pad.
Note: do not brace the adjustable seat pad against
plastic trim. The plastic will crack when Even Brake is
activated.
Now that you have selected a bracing point for the
adjustable seat pad, loosen the adjustment knob (see
“Components,” page two) at the back of the seat pad,
and move the seat pad up or down until the top of the
seat pad matches the height of the bracing point.
Once the height is adjusted, tighten the knob on
the seat pad.
Note: the seat pad may be rotated 180 degrees or
removed entirely for a better fit. There are also two
anchor holes that the knob on the seat pad may be
threaded into, for additional fit options.
5.
Next, slide the driver’s seat forward, until it just
touches the adjustable seat pad. If necessary, allow a
small gap, rather than allowing Even Brake to depress
the brake pedal.
Make certain that Even Brake is not depressing the
towed vehicle’s brake pedal.
The driver’s seat must not be too far forward,
to the extent that the Even Brake pedal clamp is
depressing the towed vehicle’s brake pedal.
If the brake pedal is depressed, the brakes will
be applied continuously, which will cause severe
tire and/or brake system damage, as well as other
consequential, non-warranty damage.
Step C
Connect Even Brake to the ICX transmitter
1.
Connect the ICX transmitter cord from Even Brake
to the ICX transmitter (Figure 7).
CAUTION
The ICX transmitter and the motorhome monitor
are programmed as a set. If a replacement monitor,
a replacement ICX transmitter or a second vehicle
kit is to be installed, follow the instructions that
are included with the kits.
If both units are not programmed as a set, the
motorhome monitor will not receive the signal from
the ICX transmitter.
Step D
Plug in the power cord
The Even Brake 12-volt power cord is always
“last in, first out.” Never plug in the power cord
until Even Brake is completely installed.
Once it receives power, any movement of the box
could cause Even Brake to activate unexpectedly.
Similarly, never disconnect Even Brake without
first unplugging the 12-volt power cord.
Failure to install and operate Even Brake as in-
structed may cause property damage, personal
injury or even death.
CAUTION
Check the 12-volt outlet socket before plugging
in the Even Brake 12-volt power cord, to make cer-
tain that the socket has been wired correctly. The
contact point at the bottom of the socket should
be positive, and the outer shell around the top of
the socket should be negative.
If the positive and negative connections have
been reversed, the fuse in the Even Brake power
cord will blow when the cord is plugged into the
12-volt outlet.
1.
Plug the 12-volt power cord into the 12-volt outlet
and secure it by pressing the cord lock into the 12-volt
outlet (Figures 8 and 9).
