stall or operate the 9700 could result in property
damage, personal injury or even death.
Not for use on older vehicles without power
brakes. The 9700 is designed to work with ve-
hicles that have a power brake system (even
though the power brakes are not activated while
towing). Using the 9700 on vehicles that do not
have power brakes will result in over-braking and
severe non-warranty brake damage.
