WARNINGS

DUE TO OPERATING FROM A 12V CIGARETTE LIGHTER SOCKET THE UNIT IS LIMITED TO BRAKING EITHER A SINGLE AXLE OR TANDEM AXLE TRAILER ONLY. IT IS NOT SUITABLE TO OPERATE BRAKES ON A TRIPLE AXLE TRAILER UNLESS THE UNIT IS HARD WIRED AS PER THE MANUFACTURES INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

CAUTIONS

1. Ensure that your electric brake controller in mounted in a secure fixed location as per the manufactures instructions provided. Failure to mount securely will result in inaccurate braking force measurements and incorrect braking of the trailer.
2. 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 towing a tandem braked axle from a 12v 10amp cigarette socket it is not recommended to operate the electric brake controller at more than 80% capacity. Towing a single braked axle will operate from a 12v 10amp cigarette socket at 100% capacity.
3. 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.
