How To Bleed Kodiak Disc Brakes On Trailer Using the Breakaway Switch
Question:
How do I use the actuator to bleed my Kodiak disc brakes. Saw on few posts on the Hull Truth that you can use the emergency break away lever to acutuate the master cylinder but I want to ask the experts, Thanks

You can use the breakaway to bleed the brakes on your trailer.
If the battery is fully charged, you just need to pull the pin and it will engage the brakes on your trailer. You want to make sure you have someone checking to make sure the reservoir remains full of brake fluid while bleeding the system.
After bleeding the brakes you may want to hook your trailer up to the towing vehicle to charge the breakaway battery back to a full charge.
