Step 6) After the compressor has shut off, (approximately 30 seconds)

push the green Auto Start button on the Rvibrake control panel.

The Rvibrake actuator will automatically push on the brake pedal 5

times accomplishing 2 different tasks:

1) Remove any vacuum stored in the towed vehicles braking reservoir.

2) Automatically position the Rvibrake housing firmly against the seat
pan of the towed vehicle. (Fig. 5)

Warning: Anytime the towed vehicle’s engine is started, (to charge
the battery or run through the gears etc.) you must push the Auto
Start button on the Rvibrake control panel after shutting off the
towed vehicle’s engine to remove the vacuum stored in the towed
vehicle’s braking reservoir. Failure to drain the vacuum will result
in tire damage or excessive brake wear.

Step 7) Raise the Wireless antenna so that it is pointing up. When stowing

the Rvibrake lower the antenna to the horizontal positions so that

the antenna will not get damaged. (Fig. 6)

Rvibrake Operating Instructions

Vacuum vs. Active Brakes: The Rvibrake is designed to work with

both Vacuum assist and Active Brake towed vehicles. Vacuum
assist vehicles use vacuum to boost the pressure when braking

while Active brake vehicles have electrical systems to assist in

braking. To determine what type of braking assist your towed

vehicle has, refer to your vehicles Owner’s manual or call your

local automobile dealer. (Fig. 1)

Failure to properly set the vehicle selection to the proper setting
may cause severe tire damage.

Vacuum Brakes Operating Instructions

Step 1) Vehicle Selection (Vacuum): If your towed vehicle uses Vacuum

assist; press the Vehicle Selection button on the control panel until

the Vacuum LED is illuminated. Once the Vacuum LED is illuminated

continue to push the Vehicle Selection button until the type of

vehicle you are towing (i.e. Compact Car, Small SUV, Large SUV etc.)

is Illuminated. If you are towing a SUV always start in the Small SUV

setting first. (Fig. 2)
