the manufacturer/supplier for guidance.

2. ATTACHING THE CABLE
2.1. Attach the spring ring end of the breakaway cable to the
handbrake of the caravan or trailer, the ring can be separated
slightly to aid attaching the trailer. See fig.1 for an example but
check with your trailer manufacturer for the correct place to
attach the cable.
2.2. Run the cable down the frame and through any cable guides.
2.3. The spring clip end attaches to the tow bar, many tow bars have
a specific attachment point for breakaway cables (see fig.2).
Ensure that the cable is fed through the hole, looped round and clipped back
onto itself.
IMPORTANT! This product is NOT designed to be directly clipped to
the tow bar with the spring clip.
2.4. If your tow bar does not have a breakaway cable attachment point, loop the
cable around the tow ball and secure by clipping back onto itself.
NOTE! If your tow bar is the detachable type, please seek guidance from the tow
bar manufacturer or supplier.
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3. USE
3.1. Make sure the cable runs straight and through the cable guides and under the trailer coupling.
3.2. Ensure when the cable is attached that there is enough slack so that when the trailer moves the cable does
not pull taught and applies the brakes. Also that the cable is not so slack as to touch the ground and weaken
from friction, or snag on the trailer frame, jockey wheel etc. and engage the brakes.
3.3. Regularly check the cable for wear or damage, if in doubt contact your supplier or replace the breakaway
cable.
