WARNING: It is possible that the E-stop can be activated by pulling on the cable in various ways.

1. Forgetting to disconnect the E-stop cable from the tow vehicle and pulling tow vehicle away from the trailer.
This would pull the lever and activate the brakes.
2. Stepping on the E-stop cable with enough force to pull the lever and activate the brakes.
3. Attaching the E-stop hook in a way that is too tight and causes the cable to be pulled when making turns while
towing the trailer.
4. Wrapping the E-stop cable around the actuator or trailer tongue reducing the amount of free play in the cable.
5. Leaving the E-stop cable dragging on the ground, causing the cable to grab an object on the road.

RELEASING THE E-STOP

Always check the position of the E-stop lever to
make sure it is not in a locked position. Lever should
be able to touch the rear of the slot in the plastic
cover when not activated.

spring plate and push the handle of the screw
driver down, prying the spring plate up to release
the E-stop lever. Picture 4.
