necessary to replace a safety cable, do not

substitute with any part other than a genu-

ine MasterCraft cable.

Breakaway Cable

Secure the break-

away cable to the bum-

per or frame of the tow

vehicle as close to the

center as possible, but

do not attach it to the

safety chains. The cable

MUST hang clear of

the trailer tongue and

be long enough to per-

mit sharp turns without

pulling the cable and

will not be applied un-

less the safety chains

fail. Do not loop an S-

hook over the breakaway cable to attach it.

Never tow a trailer without the breakaway

cable secured to the tow vehicle.

If the breakaway cable is accidentally

pulled and the brakes applied, determine

why it happened and x the problem. Inad-

vertent setting of the brakes by pulling the

breakaway cable is a common mistake. To

prevent light pulls from accidentally set-

ting trailer brakes, a small metal clip has

been installed on breakaway cables in front

of the indicator bead. The clip will not in-

hibit the action of the breakaway mecha-

nism during actual breakaway conditions.

However, if breakaway should occur, the

clip will be destroyed and should be re-

placed. Spare clips are available through

authorized MasterCraft dealers.

To retract the breakaway cable, slide

the coupler fully forward and push up on

the push rod release bracket located on the

underside and behind the hitch ball socket.

This allows the bead to retract into the ac-

tuator. This releases the trailer brakes. In-

stall a new clip on the breakaway cable in

front of the bead.

Checking and resetting the breakaway

cable:

If pushing up on the bracket does not

release the brakes or it is hard to push, in-

sert a pry bar into the 5/16” hole behind the

bracket. Use the pry bar to (gently) stroke

the push rod backwards and relieve the

load on the bracket. Push up on the bracket

and hold it up while releasing the pry bar.

The push rod release bracket should now

move freely and brakes should be released.

Check to be certain the actuator is reset.

Extend the actuator fully. Remove the cap

from the top of the actuator and pull the

plug from the top of the reservoir cover.

While looking at the uid in the reservoir,

manually compress the actuator. In the rst

1/8” of coupler movement the uid in the

reservoir should splash or ripple slightly. If

it does, the actuator is working properly.

Stroking the push rod to release the

brakes:

If the brakes cannot be released us-

ing the method described above, or if the

push rod release bracket will not move, it

is damaged beyond serviceability. Contact

an authorized MasterCraft dealer for assis-

tance and replacement parts.

How to install the breakaway cable clip:

The breakaway cable clip is installed on

the breakaway cable to prevent inadvertent

pressurization of the trailer brakes if the
