WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3. A Fuse or Circuit Breaker of appropriate rating must be installed to protect the vehicle
system. Please refer to the installation instructions on page 7 for specific instructions
on where to install the Fuse or Circuit Breaker and for appropriate Fuse or Circuit
Breaker rating. The Fuse or Circuit Breaker must be installed as close as possible to
the battery.
4. Ensure the remote head push-button activates correctly when installed into surfaces
with a thickness greater than 3.0mm. Failure to activate correctly would result in not
being able to activate the override function or change modes.
5. Ensure that the cable used to install the Tow-Pro
™
Elite is of adequate gauge to
supply the required current to operate the trailer brakes. Incorrect wiring can result in
overheated wires or excessive voltage drop and may cause injury to persons, damage
to the Tow-Pro
™
Elite and/or damage to property.
6. The Tow-Pro
™
Elite is suitable for all trailers with electric brakes on up to three axles.
Note that for trailers above 4.5t gross, special testing is required under Australian
Design Rules. For these trailers, please consult with an automotive safety engineer
before using the Tow-Pro
™
Elite.
1. Ensure that a correct grounding point is used. Vehicles often have ungrounded
metal reinforcements under the dash and these points are not suitable grounds. Bad
grounding of the unit will result in poor or no operation.
2. The Tow-Pro
™
Elite does not act as a trailer lights voltage converter. The Tow-Pro
™
Elite is designed to operate the trailer brake lights under certain conditions. If the
trailer brake lights require a different voltage to the input from the vehicle, damage to
the trailer brake lights may result.
3. When installing the Tow-Pro
™
Elite Remote Control to a thin panel, washers are
recommended to reinforce the structure of the panel.
4. Do NOT exceed Tow Vehicle and Trailer weights and specifications. Failure to abide by
the towing regulations, including maximum loads, may result in a fine, or in case of
an accident, refusal of the insurance claim, and the possibility of further legal action.
If the tow vehicle or trailer’s maximum load is exceeded, police and transport
authorities have the power to order the combination off the road until the issue is
corrected. This may necessitate leaving the trailer on the side of the road while a
vehicle with suitable towing capacity is sourced or the trailer load is reduced. Please
contact your local authorities for further information.
