On the Tekonsha Voyager, # 39510, the knob on the right hand side of the controller is the power knob. This adjusts the amount of power output to the electric trailer brakes. The knob on the left hand side is the level knob. This sets the brake controller sensors to level which is and essential part of setting up the brake controller was it is installed.
With the brake controller installed and positioned properly (see instructions linked below), you will then need to set the level. First, make sure the truck and trailer are on level ground and the trailer is connected to the tow vehicle. Set the power knob to maximum. Press on the brakes and hold them down. Rotate the level knob counter-clockwise until the light starts to change from green to red. Rotate it the other way until it appear orange. Dim orange is a normal setting, bright orange is an aggressive setting, and dim red is the most aggressive setting. Once you have it set you can release the brakes.
The next step will be to adjust the brakes according to the Adjusting the Power to the Trailer Brakes section of the instructions.
