Coupling To The Tow Vehicle
Bri-Mar 78
^ WARNING
Failure to replace the pullpin can result in ineffective brakes, leading to
loss of control, serious injury or death.
If you do not use your trailer for three or more months, or during winter
months:
• Store the battery indoors; and
• Charge the battery every three months.
Replace the breakaway brake battery at intervals recommended by the
battery manufacturer’s instructions.
4.2.8.5 Connect the Electrical Cable
Connect the trailer lights to the tow vehicle's electrical system using the
electrical connectors.
• Check all lights for proper operation:
• Clearance and Running Lights (Turn on tow vehicle headlights).
• Brake Lights (Step on tow vehicle brake pedal).
• Turn Signals (Operate tow vehicle directional signal lever).
• Check electric brakes for proper operation
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 m.p.h., manually operate the electric
brake controller in the tow vehicle cab. You should feel the operation of
the trailer brakes.
