Explicación
After connecting the air lines you must supply air to the trailer and check that the system holds pressure and the trailer brakes operate. Listening for leaks and watching the gauge confirms the braking system is sealed. Driving with a leaking or unconnected trailer air line can leave you without trailer brakes.
