Consumers must use only DOT 3—pre-

ferred—or DOT 4 brake ﬂuid. DO NOT USE

DOT 5 BRAKE FLUID. DOT 5 FLUID WILL

DAMAGE THE SEALS IN THE ACTUATOR

AND CALIPERS, CAUSING FAILURE OF

BRAKES THAT COULD LEAD TO INJURY OR

DEATH. Any other type may not provide suf-

ﬁcient chemistry to protect against over-

heating. Brake ﬂuid should be completely

replaced during annual (at least once very

12 months or more ofen if the system has

shown evidence of brake ﬂuid loss) main-

tenance. Brake ﬂuid types should never be

mixed. Failure to provide required mainte-

nance can cause brake failure, leading to

incidents that result in serious injury or

even death.

DOT 5 brake uid is a silicone-based

uid and requires specic materials for the

boots, seals and wipers in the actuator mas-

ter cylinder and caliper. Those materials

are NOT used in MasterCraft trailers. Re-

gardless of marketing claims made regard-

ing a supposed superiority of DOT 5 brake

uid, the fact is that it will cause signicant

failure in our product becauseitisnotde-

signedtouseDOT5brakeuid.

“Unexplained” brake failures are often

traced to dragging brakes caused by the E-

stop cable being tripped or the use of DOT

5 brake uid. The underlying cause most

often is because the brakes got over-heated

and caused the uid to boil. This can occur

when the uid level is appropriate, the lin-

ings are within specications, and the hy-

draulics appear to work properly.

DO NOT USE DOT 5 brake ﬂuid in any com-

ponent of MasterCraf trailers. The silicone

causes seals to swell and can bind up cali-

per pistons. Do not use this in individual ac-

tuators, disc brakes or solenoids.

The silicone in DOT 5 brake uid also

causes foaming bubbles when forced

through small orices under high pres-

sure, such as the solenoid valves in a disc

brake system. Bubbles in brake uid result

in spongy brakes. Silicone also tends to

become slightly compressible at tempera-

tures near its boiling point, which makes it

generally inappropriate for trailers used in

mountain conditions.

Brake Lockout Bracket

When backing up, the coupler will move

back and apply the trailer brakes. The

brakes will apply at different levels de-

pending on how fast you back up, the type

of brakes, the road or surface, and the an-

gle the trailer is at. Some trailers with disc

brakes need an electrical solenoid control

to allow the trailer to back up. This control

is wired to the back-up lights on the tow

vehicle, and when the tow vehicle is put

into reverse, this control does not allow the

trailer brakes to apply.

Manual Brake Lockout Bracket for UFP

Actuators:

A simple lockout has been included with

this Owner’s Manual (it is not installed

on the trailer because it is used only when

needed and should otherwise not be left on

the trailer). When inserted, this bracket will

keep the coupler from moving back and ap-

plying the brakes. It should be used when
