Tie Down LP750 - Manual (Page 4)

3. Check with your state motor vehicle department for laws concerning minimum
trailer brake requirements. Some states may require brakes on all axles.
4. Road test trailer a short distance to activate the actuator several times. Check fluid
level again. Remember, low brake fluid levels will result in hitch ball knocking
and loss of breaking power.
5. When testing is completed, make sure master cylinder is filled to 3/8” below the
top of the reservoir and filler cap is securely in place. Road test again to
make sure brakes work properly.
RATED CAPACITY: Maximum Actuator Capacity: Model LP750 = 7,500 lbs.
Gross Load, 750 lbs. Maximum Tongue Load
The actual in-service rating is limited to that of the ball and hitch being used or
the trailer manufacturer’s G.V.W.R. shown on the certification label, whichever
is lower (Note: G.V.W.R. is the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating which includes the
trailer and the load weight as a Total Gross Weight).
HITCHING TRAILER
1. The vehicle, towing hitch and ball must have a rating equal to or greater
than trailer G.V.W.R.
2. Model LP750 will accept 2” trailer hitch balls rated for 7,500# or more only. Trailer
balls larger than 2.00” or out of round will not fit the coupler or may result in
coupler failure. Balls smaller than 1.970” can cause shock loading and sudden
disconnection. Make certain ball latch is in correct position to retain the hitch ball.
Insert safety pin into forward hole as a safety lock for the hitch ball coupler prior
to towing. Do not tow trailer if coupler is damaged.
3. Connect safety cables or chains using crossed pattern under tongue, or follow
trailer manufacturer’s directions.
4. Connect actuator breakaway cable S-hook to the tow vehicle only. Do not
connect S-hook to the safety cables or chains.
5. The breakaway system is designed to only operate after the trailer detaches from
the tow vehicle and the safety chains have failed. The breakaway is not a parking
brake. Do not use as such.
6. If the breakaway is accidentally applied while un-hitching, too release the
emergency brake, simply press the E-Stop release upward (located on bottom front,
right side of actuator) you should here a “click” noise, this will indicate the bracket
is released.
