Try reading the instructions.  Once you're connected electrically, squeeze 
the manual control, and then adjust the power knob so the display reads 6.0.

Then tow the trailer to a dry, level surface.  Get the tow vehicle up to 25 
mph and reactivate the manual control.

If the brakes lock up, reduce the power by adjusting the power knob.  If the 
wheels turn freely, increase power to a point just before lockup.

No two trailers will be the same, so the adjustments have to be made for 
your specific trailer.
