STEP 5
New battery being installed. NB. Some Breaksafe systems use
different batteries and it's recommended to replace like for like.STEP 7
Re-test the system by pressing the test button, and in this image the
green light is displayed confirming the battery is OK.STEP 9
Test the system by pulling/releasing the pin from the housing and
try and move the caravan/trailer. If working correctly the brakes on
the caravan/trailer should be locked on. Place the pin back into the
housing and the wheel brakes should release ready to tow. NB. Further
investigations will be required if the wheel brakes do not lock on when
the Breaksafe plunger is removed from its housing. On occasions, the
Breaksafe switch in this image can fail due to water ingress, rust or
damage. Whilst there is no 12V current running through the cable it's
good practice to ensure this is in good condition.STEP 4
Remove the terminals from the battery and note that the red
wire (positive) must reconnect to the red positive terminal on the
battery. After using a multimeter to check battery voltage (it was
displaying 2.5V) the battery within this Breaksafe 6000 was no
longer serviceable.STEP 6
Armed with a new battery, and terminals correctly returned to their
positive/negative positions, place the battery back into the control box
as shown.STEP 8
Replace the battery cover and check wiring for any abrasions. NB.
If your system is not working with a fully charged battery, check
the fuse. In this image the fuse is located on the red (positive wire).
Remove the black cover and either remove to inspect or run a
multimeter across the tips. Replace the fuse like for like if blown.
