ABI offers power brakes as a standard feature on the dual
axle Workman XL only. Mounted within the black
box on the Workman XL Trailer is a Brake Controller, which
allows adjustment to the time delay and power intensity
of the trailer brakes.
First, make sure power is being supplied to the brake
controller by hooking up the 4-pole wire connection to
the ATV and turning on the ATV ignition.
NOTE:
Be sure to
have a strong, well charged battery for full braking power.
Squeeze the Manual Brake Activator and note that red
lights appear by the Power Intensity Adjuster. The more
lights that activate, the more stopping power applied to
the Workman XL trailer brakes.
More Stopping Power:
Move the Power Intensity Adjuster
to the Left, towards the (+) positive symbol.
Less Stopping Power:
Move the adjuster to the Right
towards the (-) negative symbol.
After using your trailer for some time, you may need to
manually adjust the brake shoes located within the brake
drum. At the bottom, inside portion of each brake hub
you will note an elongated plastic cap. Remove this cap as
indicated (
Fig 61
).
Inside the hole of the hub, you will note a silver adjuster.
Insert a brake spoon or a screwdriver into the hole, and
spin the teeth down to expand or add more stopping
power to each hub (
Fig 62
). Spin the teeth up to contract
or decrease the brake pads from contacting the brake
drum. The direction ‘down’ would be to spin the circular
adjuster in a direction towards you. Imagine the adjuster
to be like a coin rolling on a table towards you, that is the
direction of ‘down’.
The brake hub in these views has been removed from the
axle for illustrative putposes only.
The Time Delay Adjuster allows to place a 1-3 second delay
when applying the trailer brakes. Check that the switch is
pushed to the back, in the opposite direction of the power
on Light, for instant stopping power. The factory default is
set to instant stopping or no delay.
