How Does Breakaway of Dexter A-60 Actuator get Reset

Question:

I just bought a Dexter Dx56fr bolt on with electric lockout. It came with no manual so I installed it with my backyard mechanic abilities. How do I release the emergency surge brakes if the cable gets pulled?

Hey Dave, To retract the breakaway cable, slide the coupler fully forward and push up on the pushrod release bracket located on the underside and behind the hitch ball socket to allow the bead to retract into the actuator. This will release the trailer brakes.
