5. Plug banana clips into the color coded
Breakaway receptacles on the Apollo
control panel. Excess wire may be coiled
under the dash and secured with a wire tie
or stored under the floor mat or carpet.
6. Run the cable from the Breakaway switch
on the front of the towed car and hook to
a secure spot on the rear of the coach (not
the tow bar). Allow enough cable slack for
turning. A good indicator is if the cable can
be moved up and down a total distance of
six inches (i.e., three inches up, three inches
down) near the center of the cable.
7. Thread the cable through the included cable
adjustor plate as illustrated in the photos
and trim or tuck away the excess cable.
8. Slip the S Hook through the loop at the
end of the lanyard cable. Using a Vise grip,
pinch the S Hook to keep the cable inside
the S Hook.
9. Take the lanyard cable with S Hook and
hook it to the motorhome frame.
10. When not in use, unplug the lanyard
cable. After unplugging the lanyard cable,
simply insert the replacement plug into the
Breakaway switch. Use the replacement
plug to keep the Breakaway switch free of
debris when not in use.
