Connecting the Breakaway
The breakaway lanyard is connected to a simple switch on the drawbar. When connecting the lanyard to the tow
vehicle it should be connected to a solid part of the vehicle. Do not incorporate its connection with the safety
chains.
Breakaway Switch Lanyard Connection
WARNING – Where fitted, the breakaway system lanyard must be connected to a secure part of the tow vehicle.
• Do not connect to the safety chain shackle. Connect only to a fixed structural part of the tow vehicle.
• Ensure the battery system has adequate charge to power the electric breakaway system in the event
of the trailer separating from the tow vehicle.
• The tow vehicle should supply a maintenance charge to the trailer batteries while towing to ensure
peak battery capacity for the breakaway system.
