the piston and rubber cup inside the master cylinder. Brake uid presses inside of the wheel
cylinder and activates the brake shoes against the drum.
As designed, the weight of a trailer pushing forward will activate the surge brake system.
When backing a trailer up hill, the trailer weight may activate the surge brake system,
making it difcult to continue to reverse.
1. Prior to backing up a slope or through soft ground, pull the RV forward slightly to
assure that the actuator socket is in the forward position.
2. Move the lever on the side of the actuator downward from the “towing position” along
the curved slot in the actuator frame to the “backup position.” The slot has a notch at the
bottom of its travel. Push the lever down to engage the locking notch.
3. The RV will now back up. This lever will slide into the correct position when pulling
forward.
It is extremely important to keep the master cylinder full at all times. An empty cylinder
invites moisture.
Tow vehicle battery
The tow vehicle battery is the primary source of power for your RV’s electric brake operation.
To ensure available power when needed, keep your tow vehicle battery and charging system
working properly.
Brake controller (customer supplied)
The brake controller should be installed in the tow vehicle to work in conjunction with the
RV electric brakes. Consult with your dealer or the brake controller OEM to decide what is
right for your towing combination.
Entrance Door Step(s)
Make sure your entrance step is fully extended
before exiting the vehicle, and retracted prior to
towing.
Lubricating the step mechanism
Carefully clean the area around the pivot points
(the rivets involved in the motion of the
mechanism). Lubricate these pivot points with
an automotive grade, non-staining lubricant
every 30 to 60 days.Wipe any excess lubricant
off of the step and then clean the entire step after lubricating.
Entrance Door
The entrance door is located on the curbside of the RV. Always hold onto the entrance door
when opening or closing it as damage caused because you failed to do so is not covered by
the Towable Limited Warranty.
RV Step
Make sure the entrance door is completely closed and locked when traveling.
Locking the door helps prevent it from opening unintentionally.
