Note: The RV must be moving faster than 35
MPH for the Apollo to engage the brakes in
the towed vehicle.
14. Push the red TEST button on the Apollo
control panel four to five times. The
actuator arm should extend and press the
brake pedal each time. Doing this insures
correct placement and removes the vacuum
stored in the brake vacuum reservoir of the
towed vehicle. Installation is complete.
Note: Resistance from the towed vehicle
may not always be felt in the RV. To monitor
the performance, we strongly recommend
using the BX88180 Wireless Remote
Indicator with the Apollo braking system. It
gives you the security of knowing when the
towed vehicles brakes are being applied.
These settings are GENERAL
GUIDELINES ONLY and may
vary depending on conditions,
driver and/or the vehicles involved
in your particular towing situation.

Sensitivity Chart Information
The Sensitivity button (black button on the
left side of Apollo control panel) determines
how hard the brakes in the RV must be
applied before the Apollo engages the brakes
in the towed vehicle. The sensitivity is
increased (in increments of one to the
maximum level of eight) each time this
button is pressed. The higher the setting, the
easier the Apollo activates.
