RED when Brake pedal or manual is activated and trailer is GREEN light draws 5 milliamperes of current from tow vehicle. It would take over 10,000hours to drain the tow vehicle The level adjustment is level adjustment determines whether automaticbraking response is delayed or Brake Control is activated by inertia. It senses deceleration and generates an output that reflects the inertia sensed. In a stationarystate, the Brake Control will not apply the trailer brakes unless the Manual Slide Knob is The Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) must never exceed the vehiclemanufacturers This Control specfically designed for use with electric trailer Technical Assistance and Warranty Informationcall: 1-888-785-5832 or GuideWARNING The Brake Control must be mount-ed from -20 degrees nose down to 70 degrees noseup.

3 BRIGHT ORANGE for an aggressive setting. DIM RED for a more aggressive Brake the Power to the Trailer BrakesOnce the Control has been installed and properlyleveled, it is necessary to set the power needed to stop the trailer during a braking trailer to tow Power Knob to the 12 o clock tow vehicle and trailer on a dry levelpaved surface at 25 mph and apply manualslide : Range of adjustment for the level knobfrom DIM ORANGE to DIM RED is 20 degrees of rotation. If trailer brakes lock up: Turn power down using power knob.(Rotate power knob toward the 8 o clock position, counter-clockwise.) If braking was not sufficient: Turn power up using power knob. (Rotatepower knob toward the 5 o clock position,clockwise.) Step (3) until power has been set to a point just below wheel lock up or at a sufficient force as to achieve maximumbraking the Brake pedal, make a few low speedstops to check the Power and Level adjust-ments. The automatic response ( Brake pedal)is initiated and terminated via the stoplightswitch.

4 When the Brake pedal is released,trailer braking will TuningNow that the Power has been set, it is time to finetune the level setting for the majority of the stopping that you will be several slow (25 MPH) stops as if coming up to a stop sign and take notice of how the trailer brakes respond: Brakes Grab Too Much You have an Aggressive Setting:To correct this condition rotate level knobclockwise, toward you, see below. Trailer Tending to Push Tow Vehicle You have a Delayed Setting:To correct this condition rotate level knobcounter-clockwise, away from you, see until desired trailer braking is :When the Brake Control is leveled properly there will be very little current flowingthrough the Brake magnets in a static state withthe foot pedal depressed. The Brake magnets willhum when there is current flowing through the Bi-Colored Light shows any colorother than GREEN, there is current flowingthrough the Brake :1. Front of the Voyager must be horizontal,see The Voyager must be parallel to direction of travel,see This Brake Control is activatedby inertia and requires the level to be setproperly, or the braking response will be tooharsh or properly level the sensor, the trailer andtow vehicle must be parked on a level surfaceand trailer must be connected to tow : warm the trailer's brakes before setting the power.

5 Warm trailer brakes tendto be more responsive than cold brakes. Towarm trailer brakes, drive a short distance(1/4 mile) at 45 MPH with manual leverengaged enough to cause trailer braking at a low The power should never be sethigh enough to cause trailer brakes to lockup. Skidding trailer wheels can cause loss ofdirectional stability of trailer and tow vehicle. power may need to be adjusted for different load weights and road all trailer brakes will lock up due to various conditions. However, inability tolock up the brakes generally indicates theneed for an inspection to determine the the power is set correctly you shouldfeel unified braking between the trailer andtow in doubt of the proper setting procedures review the above steps starting at LEVELING THE SENSOR through FINETUNING or consult your tow card includedwith your Brake lectronique de freinPour applications de 2, 4, 6* et 8* freins Composants de la commande de de glissi re de montage de moin lumineux deux de niveauFaits importants garder en m pas monter ni actionner des appareils produisant des HF (t l phones cellulaires,radios bidirectionnelles) proximit (moins de 12po) de la commande de L inversion de la connexion unebatterie de d rive sur la remorque d truira la commande de D brancher la fiche de remorquedu v hicule de remorquage avant de faire l essaid un interrupteur de d rive, sinon on risque de d truire la commande de t moin lumineux est.
