Troubleshooting

Damper feels stiff or unresponsive

Check for any obstructions or damage to the piston rod. Ensure the threaded connections are not overtightened, which could bind the mechanism. Verify it is correctly installed within the coupling.

Braking system is not engaging correctly

Confirm that the damper is the correct replacement part for your specific Bradley coupling model (HU10 / HU14 / EH35). Check that the piston rod is properly connected to the trailer's braking rod. Inspect for any kinks or damage in the trailer's brake cable system.

Damper appears to be leaking fluid

If fluid is visible, the damper seal may be compromised. This indicates the unit needs replacement to maintain braking effectiveness and safety.

Damper makes unusual noises during operation

Some minor noise can be normal, but loud clunking or grinding may indicate internal wear or improper installation. Double-check the fitment and ensure all components are securely attached.
