Adjusting Your Controller
Controller knob adjustment – the pedal
mounted controller has a Trailer Brake Adjust knob
which affects the rate of application of the trailer
brake. This adjustment has
no bearing on the
maximum braking capacity of the trailer brakes.
Because of the wide variety of towing vehicles and
trailers, it is necessary to balance the trailer brakes
with the towing vehicle brakes to provide for a safe,
comfortable stop. This adjustment should be made
to provide for a slight lead of the trailer brakes over
the tow vehicle brakes. Turning the handle
clockwise will decrease the rate of application of the
trailer brakes, while counter-clockwise will increase
the rate of application. When the desired setting is
reached, the controller will hold the adjustment but
may be varied at any time by rotating the knob as
described above. After this adjustment, there
should be no sensation of the trailer pushing the
tow vehicle during a stop, nor should there be an
excessive sensation of the trailer pulling the tow
vehicle during a stop.
