Coupling To The Tow Vehicle ! WARNING Improper electrical connection between the tow vehicle and the trailer will result in inoperable lights and electric brakes, and can lead to collision. Before each tow: �� Check that all lights and turn signals work. �� Check that the electric brakes work by operating the brake controller inside the tow vehicle. ATTACH BREAKAWAY BRAKE LANYARD If the coupler or hitch fails, a properly connected and working breakaway brake system will apply the brakes on the trailer. The safety chains will keep the tow vehicle attached and as the brakes are applied at the trailer’s axles, the trailer/tow vehicle combination will come to a controlled stop. �� Connect the lanyard to the tow vehicle so that the electric brake pullpin will be pulled out before all of the slack in the safety chains is taken up. Do not connect the lanyard to a safety chain, hitch ball or hitch ball assembly. This would keep the breakaway brake system from operating when it is needed. 73 Electric Breakaway Brake Lanyard
