To adjust the trailer brakes on a 53-foot trailer, start by ensuring the trailer is safely supported and the wheels are chocked. Check the brake adjustment by spinning the wheels; they should rotate freely but have a slight drag when the brakes are applied. Use the brake adjustment mechanism, typically a slack adjuster or manual adjuster, to tighten or loosen the brakes until the desired drag is achieved. Finally, ensure the brakes are functioning properly by conducting a test drive and checking for even braking.
