The locking pin, provided with the trailer, or a pad-
lock must be inserted in the locking lever hole.This
ensures the coupler’s locking lever remains in the
locked position during towing of the trailer. Use of
a padlock will help to deter theft.
Before towing, the trailer must be properly hitched to the
tow vehicle.
Connect break-away cable S-hook securely to one
of the tow vehicle hitch’s  safety chain connection
points. The cable should hang clear of trailer tongue
and be long enough to permit short radius turns with-
out pulling break-away cable forward. DO NOT loop
the break-away cable around a bracket and loop it
back onto itself.
To ensure proper engagement of the actuator’s
coupler to the tow ball,  DO NOT use a multi-
piece ball, an incorrectly sized ball, or a worn/
damaged ball.  Four Winns® 214 Funship™
IO trailers require a two inch (2”) diameter
tow ball.  A  two & five-sixteenths (2 5/16”)
diameter tow  ball is  required for the  234/
264
Funship™ trailers.

Make sure the break-away lever is fully rotated to

to the ball.  See Figure S6.

Lower trailer tongue until  ball is seated or rests in
ball socket.
Close release handle.   If it  is a  trailer with brake
actuator and coupler assembly the handle will snap
to its closed position when properly seated.
Figure S12:  Break-away Cable
The release handle will close freely with finger pressure
when ball is  properly seated in socket.   If the handle
does not close freely or does not snap to its closed
position properly, do not tow trailer.  DO NOT force
handle into closed position, otherwise damage could re-
sult.  Inspect actuator for bent parts or cause of improp-
er operation.
The Break-away system is not designed to op-
erate if the trailer does not separate completely
from the  tow vehicle,  or if  the trailer  tongue
“submarines” and  goes beneath  the tow ve-
hicle. DO NOTuse break-awaycableasapark-
ing brake.
NOTICE
Keep the coupler clean  and lubricated to pre-
vent damage to the coupler.
