The trailer is equipped with a hydraulic

brake actuator. Trailer brakes will auto-

matically apply whenever the tow vehicle’s

brakes are applied. Stopping (deceleration)

force is developed in direct proportion to

the stopping force generated by the tow ve-

hicle.

The breakaway system actuators will ap-

ply the trailer brakes if the trailer becomes

completely detached from the tow vehicle

while under power. Failure to properly con-

nect the breakaway system prior to towing

may result in serious injury or death and/or

property damage.

(See breakaway cable detail earlier in

this section of the Owner’s Manual.)

The breakaway cable is a line of de-

fense at separation. Before the breakaway

cable is pulled, the coupler must become

detached from the hitch ball and then the

safety chains fail. At this time the break-

away cable is pulled, which applies a brak-

ing force to the trailer. Note that the break-

away system is not intended to lock up

the trailer brakes after separating from the

tow vehicle but rather to apply just enough

braking force to keep the trailer from free-

wheeling. The breakaway system must be

reset manually after it has been activated.

DO NOT USE THE BREAKAWAY

SYSTEM AS A PARKING BRAKE!

A surface rust will build up on the ro-

tor brake surface if the trailer isn’t used for

a week or more. The brake pads will wipe

off the rust in the rst few miles of travel.

However, if the trailer has been idle for

several months, or it has been frequently

submerged in salt water and the brakes not

ushed out, severe corrosion can occur.

Try the brakes before each trip. On a

regular basis, have the brake linings in-

spected, necessary adjustments made and

any damaged or worn parts replaced by an

authorized MasterCraft dealer.

Wet brakes usually do not hold especial-

ly well. If the wheels have been in water,

several brake applications at slow speeds

should dry them out. If the wheel assem-

blies have been submerged in salt water, it

is important to ush the rotors and calipers

thoroughly with fresh water to minimize

subsequent corrosion.

The trailer’s brakes are designed to ener-

gize automatically when the tow vehicle’s

brakes are applied. These are known as

“surge brakes.” (Note: Somejurisdictions

donotallow surgebrakes.Always check

within the locality in which you will be

towing.) When the vehicle slows down or

stops, the forward momentum (surge) of

the trailer against the hitch ball develops

hydraulic pressure in a master cylinder in-

side the trailer brake actuator. Hydraulic

lines are used to transfer pressure to the

brakes and engage them.

In most states, trailers with a Gross

Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 1,500

pounds or more are required by law to have

brakes on all wheels. (Auto manufactur-

ers generally recommend brakes even with

lighter trailers.)

Trailer brakes must be maintained in good

working condition at all times. Inspect the

brake system on a regular basis and verify

proper ﬂuid level in the actuator. The loss

of adequate braking could result in serious

injury or death and/or property damage.
