If the king pin or fifth wheel fails, a properly connected
and working breakaway brake system will apply the
trailer brakes.
Connect the lanyard to the tow vehicle. Do not connect
the lanyard to king pin or its support. This would keep
the breakaway brake system from operating when it is
needed.
Contact the hitch manufacturer or installer if you are
not certain of the hitch provisions for the breakaway
brake connection.

If your trailer has electric brakes, your tow vehicle will
have an electric brake controller that sends power to
the trailer brakes. Before towing the trailer on the road,
you must operate the brake controller while trying
to pull the trailer in order to confirm that the electric
brakes operate.
While towing the trailer at less than 5 mph, manually
operate the electric brake controller in the tow vehicle.
You should feel the operation of the trailer brakes. If
the trailer brakes are not functioning, the brake system
MUST be evaluated to determine the cause of the
problem and corrective action MUST be taken before
the trailer is used. Take the unit to your dealer or a
qualified brake specialist.
Use this procedure each time you tow the trailer to
check brake system operation.
