The most common remedy for this problem is to carry out the brake adjustment procedure as outlined in the IWT User's Handbook. This is something we recommend is done every 2 months/1000 miles in order to keep your trailer braking system in optimal working condition. If trying to reverse up steep inclines or very uneven ground, a manual reverse kit that overrides the trailer's auto-reverse may be available from your IWT distributor (dependant on the age of the trailer).
