Breakaway switches are required on all trailers over 2000kg.
The breakaway switch is designed to operate electric brakes for a period of 15 minutes in cases where the trailer has detached form the vehicle when travelling.
Breakaway Switches must be replaced after the pin is pulled. All breakaway switches are factory tested.
Note: Switches are not to be tested after installation. Switches are much like fire extinguishers. As a safety item they are a ONE USE ITEM.
