WARNINGS

ENSURE THAT YOUR TRAILER BRAKES ARE INSTALLED AND OPERATING CORRECTLY. IMPROPERLY INSTALLED OR FAULTY TRAILER BRAKES CAN CAUSE ERRATIC VEHICLE OR TRAILER BEHAVIOR WITH POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A ROAD ACCIDENT. ALWAYS CHECK BRAKES AT LOW SPEED EACH TIME A TRAILER IS CONNECTED TO YOUR VEHICLE.

CAUTIONS
- If towing a tandem axle trailer it is recommended that you use a 12v 15amp cigarette socket as your power source if 100% braking force is required. If a 15amp power source is not available you can operate the unit from a 10amp socket under limitations as noted in diagram a. This is to prevent the possibility of the vehicles cigarette lighter socket fuse blowing upon 100% braking force being applied if the unit is set too high while being powered from a 10amp socket.
- It is recommended that while using your portable electric brake unit that you do not operate or charge any other devices from another power source in your vehicle unless that power source is isolated from the cigarette lighter socket which is providing power to your brake unit.
This product is supplied to allow ease of fitment in vehicles that require a non-permanent installation. All mounting orientation and operational requirements in the Brake Controller manufacturers product manual still apply, and must be followed to ensure safe operation.
