Stroking the push rod to release the brakes:
If the brakes cannot be released using the method described above,
or if the push rod release bracket will not move, it is damaged
beyond serviceability. Contact an authorized MasterCraft dealer for
assistance and replacement parts.
How to install the breakaway cable clip:
The breakaway cable clip is installed on the breakaway cable to
prevent inadvertent pressurization of the trailer brakes if the cable
is lightly pulled by accident. If the breakaway cable is pulled during
an emergency situation, the clip will be destroyed. The breakaway
system must be reset by pushing up on the tab located under the
coupler and the clip must be replaced. Contact your Authorized
MasterCraft dealer for a replacement clip.
Trailer Winch Assembly
Maintain a firm grip on the winch handle at all times. Never release
the handle when the lever is in the unlocked position with a load
on the winch because the handle will spin forcefully under these
conditions. This may cause serious injury. If the winch is released
and begins to spin forcefully, do NOT attempt to halt the spin.
Prior to each use of the winch, check for the proper ratchet
operation. Do not use the winch if it is damaged. Seek immediate
repairs. Never use the winch handle as a handle for pulling or
maneuvering the entire trailer or other equipment.
Never pull on the winch handle against a locked ratchet. Never
exceed the rated capacity of the winch. Excessive loads may
cause premature failure. Never apply a load on the winch with the
strap fully extended. Keep at least two full turns of the strap that is
on the reel. Inspect the condition of the winch strap.
Using a damaged or worn winch strap may result in serious injury or
damage. Check the winch straps frequently. The strength in these
can deteriorate from exposure to weather, ozone and ultraviolet
light (direct sunlight). If a strap becomes frayed or worn, replace it
immediately with a new one.
A heavy grease should be applied to the winch’s gears to provide a
free-running drive and to minimize the eort you have to expend to
crank the boat onto the trailer.
