D.   Surge Brakes & Coupling Assembly
Closed
Surge brakes are standard  on the trailerable V series
model  trailers manufactured  by Four  Winns.   Surge
brakes operate  automatically when  the tow  vehicle’s
brakes are applied.  When the tow vehicle slows down
or stops, the forward momentum or “surge” of the trailer
against the hitch ball applies pressure to a master cylin-
der in the trailer coupler. The master cylinder supplies
hydraulic pressure through the hydraulic system which
activates  the  trailer’s  disc  brakes.   See  Figure  S5.
Please refer to the manufacturer’s literature included in
your owner’s packet for further details regarding opera-
tion and maintenance.
Ball Socket
Always insert safety pin.
Figure S5:  Surge Brake Actuator & Coupling Assembly
The  brake actuator  and  coupling  assembly  comes
with a 5-wire plug  for connecting to the tow  vehicle’s
trailering harness. Figure  S6 depicts the 5-wire plug,
the color  of the individual  wires, and the  designated
circuit for each wire.
To hitch the trailer to the tow vehicle, place the coupler
latch in the  open position to unlock  the coupler.   See
Figure S5. Push down on the coupler latch to lock  the
trailer to the ball  hitch.  Push coupler latch lever  back
