Coupling to the Tow Vehicle Figure 2-7 Breakaway Brake BP Trailer • Connect the pullpin cable to the tow vehicle so that the pullpin will be pulled out before all of the slack in the safety chains is taken up (see Breakaway Brake System figure 1-8 and 2-7).

This would keep the breakaway brake system from operating when it is needed. • Remove the pullpin from the switch and test tow the trailer, at less than 5 m.p.h.
