Blue Ox BX88193 - Manual (Page 21)

Issue: Apollo applies the brakes as soon as I plug it in.
Resolution: 1. If using the Breakaway system (included with the Luxor), ensure it is properly
connected and its clips are plugged into the Apollo. Bare wires can also activate the
Breakaway system, triggering the Apollo to engage the brakes.
2. Normalize the Apollo unit.
Issue: The compressor begins pumping and then continues to pump slowly.
Resolution: 1. There may not be enough electrical current going to the Apollo. You may have
a weak battery or one that needs upgrading with a 12-volt battery direct kit (not
included). At a minimum, a 15-amp, 12-volt accessory receptacle is required to
operate the Apollo.
Issue: The towed vehicle’s tires are dragging.
Resolution: 1. This could be caused by the Apollo’s back support brace resting against a
seat that is very firm or by resting it against the metal brace underneath the seat.
Lower the PSI in increments of 10 (75 PSI, 65 PSI, etc.). This setting is displayed
on the air pressure gauge.
Issue: The Apollo’s Test button doesn’t work when the air compressor is running.
Resolution: 1. With the air compressor running, the battery may be dropping below the 12-volt
minimum required by the Apollo. Wait until the air compressor stops and then try
the Test button again.
