Make sure the cord to the BrakeAway system is routed so that it cannot get
entangled with pedals or other moving parts. This may result in property
damage or injury.
CAUTION:
!
Do not forget to release your emergency brake before towing.
Non-warranty brake damage or brake fire may occur
CAUTION:
!
Plug BrakeAway wire into blue jack on the braking system after the unit has been properly installed in
car. Upon completion of the installation, test system by pulling pin out of Breakaway switch. The unit should
activate when pin is pulled.
Connecting Breakaway Cable
Clip the steel cable to the large ring on the Breakaway switch, then clip the other end of the steel cable to
the center rear of the motorhome. Always check the following:
a.) Connect the cable close to the center
of the rear of the motorhome. Connecting the cable towards the sides
of the motorhome will cause the cable to activate the BrakeAway System when turning sharp corners.
b.) Be sure there are no obstructions that would prevent the cable from freely pulling away from the Breakaway switch.
DO NOT WRAP THE CABLE AROUND ANY COMPONENT. DOING SO COULD KEEP THE CABLE FROM PULLING
THE PIN PREVENTING THE BRAKEAWAY SYSTEM FROM ACTIVATING.
c.) Make sure the cable is long enough to prevent the Breakaway pin from being pulled out during
normal towing. Also, remember that if you have a telescoping tow bar, you must allow enough slack so that the
tow bar can fully extend. If the cable is too short, the BrakeAway System will activate even though the car has
not broken free.
d.) Be sure the cable is not too long. It should not hang way down or drag on the ground. This much slack
could allow the cable to get caught going through dips or low spots causing the BrakeAway System to activate.
e.) Do not remove the Breakaway pin. This will activate the BrakeAway System and result in a dead battery.
Only remove the pin to test for proper BrakeAway System operation.

To install the Monitor Wire Kit use the included butt connector to join
the monitor wire with the cold side of the towed car’s brake light
switch. For proper operation of the monitor kit, towed vehicle brake
lights must be able to function with ignition key in towed position.
Some vehicle’s brake lights ONLY function with ignition system
turned on. If this occurs, a separate 2 prong stop light switch and
10 amp fuse must be installed and custom fit to operate monitor kit.
This stop light switch is not supplied and is available at local
automotive parts stores.
First install the Brake-Lite relay kit as described in the section
titled “Optional Brake-Lite Relay Kit”. To install the Monitor
wire kit, connect the monitor wire using the included yellow
spade connector to terminal 87 on the Brake-Lite relay.
