Blue Ox BX88193 - Manual (Page 12)

DO NOT PRESS THE
TEST BUTTON YET!
11. With the vehicle parked on a level surface,
turn the ignition key to the ON or “towing”
position (key turned forward, but engine
NOT running). If the air compressor is
running, wait for it to stop.
12. Normalize your Apollo by following the
chart to the left. Normalizing your Apollo
re-levels the accelerometer when the
Apollo does NOT sit perfectly level on the
floorboard of the towed vehicle or if the
floorboard is not parallel with the towing
surface.
13. Adjust the application force if desired. The
application force is how hard your towed
vehicle will brake in tow. Adjust it with
the air pressure regulator on the top of the
Apollo. Your Apollo unit is factory pre-set
at 85 PSI. This is the recommended factory
pressure. You can adjust the air regulator
to enhance the sensitivity of your Apollo. If
desired, change the setting by lifting the air
pressure regulator and turning it clockwise
to increase the pressure applied when
depressing the brake pedal (turn counter
clockwise to decrease pressure). Push the
regulator down to lock it into place.
Installation (con’t.)

Apollo’s come set from the factory at 85 psi.
Insure the Apollo is applying the proper amount
of pressure for your specific vehicle. Those
vehicles in which the Apollo is resting against a
soft surface may require more than 85 psi, but
not greater than 90 psi. Excessive force on the
braking system may cause tire damage.
