Components
The air cylinder uses air pressure from the
motorhome to depress the towed vehicle’s
brake pedal.
You will connect the air cylinder before tow-
ing and disconnect it when you reach your
destination.
Quick connects allow you to easily connect
and disconnect the supply of compressed air
from the two vehicles and from the air cylin-
der.
The patch cord connects the motorhome
monitor system, as well as the supply of com-
pressed air, between the two vehicles.
When the motorhome brakes are applied,
the proportioning valve (model 9060 only)
measures the hydraulic brake pressure and
delivers a proportional amount of compressed
air to the air cylinder.
The BrakeAway
™
system will bring your
towed vehicle to a controlled stop in the un-
likely event of a break away.
You will connect the break away cable be-
tween the two vehicles before towing and dis-
connect it when you reach your destination.
This overview is intended to introduce you to the major components in the BrakeMaster system and to briefly explain their
functions. While some of these components will be “out of sight and out of mind,” you will connect and disconnect others
every time you tow. Subsequent sections will explain how to operate and maintain your BrakeMaster system in full detail; a
complete parts list is also included.
The air compressor
(model 9060 only) supplies com-
pressed air to the proportioning valve.
The motorhome monitor light will illuminate
every time BrakeMaster applies the towed
vehicle’s brakes.
