ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS initial setting, adjust to your driving preference if needed. The location of the adjusting nut is shown in Figure 23. The initial preload ranges are listed in Figure 24. 10. Once you have the cable wrapped properly, pull slowly on the other end of the cable while holding the pulleys and swage in place with the other hand to prevent the cable from unwrapping. Keep tension on the cable and slide the pulleys into the AutoStop tube.

ASSEMBLY / ADJUSTING INSTRUCTIONS Figure 18 6. Set the wide pulley on top of the pulley divider. It is symetrical so it can be put on either way. (Figure 16) Set the cable anchor on top of the wide pulley with the groove facing you and the notch out of the corner to your right. (Figure 17) 7. Set the movable pulley assembly next to the AutoStop tube, and next to it place the stationary pulley assembly.(Figure18) You are now ready to route the cable around the pulleys. 8.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 5. 1. Slide the cable assembly back into the AutoStop tube and secure the cable clamp with the round head screw and hex nut. (Figure 11) Leave approximately one inch of cable sheathing extending outside of the AutoStop tube. NOTE: As described earlier on page 1, your AutoStop can be configured to give a 2 inch rise. If this is necessary, the AutoStop tube must be rotated 180 degrees and the cable assembly attached to the opposite hole.

DISASSEMBLY / ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Figure 10 MAINTENANCE The AutoStop and the inside of the receiver tube should be cleaned and lubricated with silicon spray at 1,000 mile intervals to prevent the buildup of road dust preventing the action to slide with ease. The AutoStop should be disassembled, thoroughly cleaned and lubricated every 10,000 miles. At this time the actuating cable should be replaced if there are any signs of cable wear.

INSTALLATION / MAINTENANCE We also include in the kit a lighted switch that should be installed in the dash of the towing vehicle and will light up when the brake pedal in the towed vehicle is pulled on by the AutoStop. If the operator is distracted by the light, the switch can be turned off. (Figure 9) 1. 2. 3. Locate the brake light switch which is activated when the brake pedal is pressed down. Locate the hot wire into the switch and the wire from the switch to the brake lights.

INSTALLATION When installed properly, the nylon thumb nut should be showing on top of the carpet. Avoid abrupt bends in the cable housing as this will cause friction and premature wear of the cable. If the cable housing runs through the bumper or the bumper skirt, drill a 5/16 inch hole there to align the cable as previously mentioned with the actuating cable.

INSTALLATION a. If readjustment of cable is needed, this is usually an indication that the cable is too tight or is hanging up on one of the towing components. arms are locked in the towing position. 4. Now you are ready to install the brake pedal cable on the towed vehicle.

REQUIREMENTS REQUIREMENTS FOR PROPER OPERATION A. You must have a two (2) inch square receiver type hitch on your towing vehicle that aligns within two (2) inches of the height of the tow bar. NOTE: The tow bar may slope upward toward the towing vehicle, but should not slope downward toward the towing vehicle. The AutoStop needs a level push on the ball mount tube to operate properly. This requires that the height of the receiver tube be adjusted rather than the height of the ball as happens normally.
