Operating the Brake Lockout Cap
-
To operate lockout cap, the actuator must be fully extended. This can be done by pulling the trailer forward slowly.
-
With the lockout cap in the TOW (forward) position, depress the button in the front of the cap and rotate the cap clockwise toward the BACKING position until it stops. The button should remain down.
-
Back the trailer.
-
If the trailer needs to be pulled forward, there are two options:
a) Pull the trailer forward and let the coupler move forward. The control cap will rotate (reset) and you will have to turn it back to the BACKING position in order to back up.
b) If you have backed up an incline, allow the tow vehicle to move forward slowly so the coupler stays back. This keeps the control in the engaged (BACKING) position so you can back up again.
Remove Brake Lockout Cap
-
Make sure the coupler is moved all the way forward.
-
With the cap in the TOW position, press the button and rotate the cap counterclockwise toward the REMOVE position until it stops.
-
Lift the cap up to remove it and gain access to the master cylinder reservoir.
