Empty = adjust so tires don't slide
Loaded = adjust for equal truck/trailer braking power
Wet Roads = turn down somewhat, so tires don't slide
Snow covered roads = turn down a LOT. Chain up rearmost axle
Whenever the trailer tires lock up and slide on slippery road surfaces, the trailer swings out to pass the tow vehicle.(jacknife) Electric trailer brakes get touchy or grabby when wet, so it's best to turn down the gain on them.
