This manual provides general service and maintenance procedures. Many variables can
change the circumstances of the service procedure, i.e., the degree of difficulty involved in the
service operation and the ability level of the individual performing the operation. This manual
cannot begin to plot out procedures for every possibility, but will provide the general instructions for
effectively servicing the vehicle. In the event the skill level required or the procedure to difficult, a
certified technician should be consulted before performing the necessary service. Failure to
correctly service the vehicle may result in voiding the warranty, inflicting injury or even death.
The owner’s manual for your unit may have more procedures for service and maintenance.
1. Installation, maintenance, adjustment or repair of LCI Braking System should be performed by
qualified technicians only.
2. Be sure support trailer with jack stands to safely perform brake installation, maintenance,
adjustment or repair.
3. Always test and confirm that trailer brakes are operating properly after every hookup and before
actual towing.
4. Know or at least be familiar with local and state laws regarding towed vehicle’s brake system
and any applicable laws and reqirements. Remember to allow for extra stopping distance
needed when towing a trailer.
5. Disc brakes generally require more hydraulic pressure than drum brakes. Verify that the
hydraulic actuator will generate hydraulic pressure adequate to safely operate disc brakes.
