emergency brake system battery must be fully charged. Refer to
the maintenance schedule in the appendix for required service
intervals and refer to the individual component manufacturer’s
warranty/manual for specic operating and maintenance
instructions (included in your Off Grid Trailers warranty pouch).

controller in your tow vehicle, you may need to have a brake
controller installed in your tow vehicle if you do not have one.

specic instructions on how to operate and setup the trailer
and tow vehicle brake system (and/or consult with a qualied
RV technician).
To ensure proper and safe function, regular inspection,
