When installing the Patriot® on hybrids, the settings
menu must be accessed. To do this:
1. Hold down the set-up button while turning the unit
on, when it lights up let go of the button.
2. Once it is finished initializing, the screen will read
“MODE: FORCE”. Hit the JOG switch to the left so
that the screen now reads “MODE: POSITION”.
Press SET-UP to select this setting.
3. The next screen will read, “MAX FORCE” Press
SET-UP again at this screen.
4. The brake should read “SETTINGS SAVED!” and
automatically restart.
These setting will be stored in the memory and remain
until a user goes through this procedure again and
changes them.
In a Hybrid vehicle, the GAIN setting should always be
kept between settings 1 and 3.
This will address the issue of users repeatedly getting
REPOSITION BRAKE error during set-up. If a user gets
the REPOSITION BRAKE error twice in a row while
trying to set-up their brake, then they should do the fol-
lowing:
1. With the brake plugged in but powered off, hold
down the SET-UP button while powering on the unit.
Once it lights up you can release the set-up button.
2. Once it is finished initializing, the screen will read
“MODE: FORCE”. Hit the JOG switch to the left so
that the screen now reads “MODE: POSITION”.
Press SET-UP to select this setting.
3. The next screen will read, “MAX FORCE” Press
SET-UP again at this screen.
4. The brake should read “SETTINGS SAVED!” and
automatically restart.
These setting will be stored in the memory and remain
until a user goes through this procedure again and
changes them. With these settings, the brake will work
on ANY vehicle. For a traditional vehicle, the GAIN set-
ting should be kept between settings 6 and 9.
In a Hybrid vehicle, the GAIN setting should be kept
between settings 1 and 3.
Error messages DO show up on the brake itself and NOT on the RF remote inside the RV. You are
notifed of an error on the RF, but the error messages are displayed on the brake. In order for the
breakaway switch to work properly, it must be plugged into the brake before you turn the brake on.
The following chart has details of the error messages in the Patriot. Each error has a corresponding
code number that will show up in the remote. Listed below are codes that will show up during normal
operation.
