Parts List
UNLOCKING THE BRAKELOCK
If the towed vehicle ever becomes disengaged and the
Brakelock locks the brakes on, they will stay locked until the
Brakelock is released. To do this, use an Allen wrench to
remove the 3/8 set screw from the side of the Brakelock
body. Once the set screw is out, remove the spring that is in
the hole. This will release the cable.
IMPORTANT: Set the parking brake of the towed
vehicle before releasing the Brakelock to keep it from rolling
and possibly causing personal injury or property damage.
The Brakelock cables and fuse should be checked
periodically for damage or wear. In order for the Brakelock
to operate properly, all components must be in good
condition. If there are any visible signs of wear or damage
the component in question should be replaced immediately.
Check all cable clamps periodically for tightness.
IMPORTANT: The fuse is designed to allow separation
at a predetermined rate of pressure. If the fuse is damaged,
the system may not operate as designed. To replace the
fuse, order two cable clamps (item 11) a cable thimble (item
13) and a fuse (item 2). Cut the cable and replace the fuse
and cable thimble then fasten the cable back together with
the two cable clamps.
The Brakelock will only activate the towed vehicles
brakes in the event of total separation of the two vehicles.
The Brakelock is loaded with several feet of cable that will
extend from the front of the Brakelock to allow the safety
cables to do their job in keeping the towed vehicle behind the
towing vehicle.
