Breakaway System
(not on all Ironhorse models)
Ironhorse Trailers equipped with electric brakes also have The
Engager® Break-Away system installed. This is designed to bring
the trailer to a stop by activating the electric brakes should the
trailer become disconnected from the tow vehicle while in motion.
The following instructions must be precisely followed to ensure
proper operation of the Break-Away system.
Operating Instructions
Unit must be charged before testing or use
1) Test your Break-Away Kit before each outing. The trailer plug
should be disconnected from the tow vehicle when using the
Push-to-Test battery feature. Otherwise you will be testing the
charge of your tow vehicle’s battery. The LED test light will only
work with a full 12 volts, the lower the voltage, the dimmer the
LEDs will illuminate.
2) Test by pulling firmly on the cable of Break-Away Switch. Battery
will activate brakes. Note: DO NOT use this kit as a parking brake.
3) Once tested, Break-Away cable should be secured to the vehicle
bumper or frame. The cable can be attached in many different
ways. Two of the most common are illustrated. Note: plunger
should always be facing the rear of tow vehicle directly behind
where you secure the cable to your tow vehicle. Any other angle
may cause Break-Away switch failure.
