m1102 Brakes I might have a problem

[MESHL57492]

I just Successfully Recovered a m1102 trailer out of fort drum today and drive it over 250 miles back home. My question is the surge brakes didn't seem to be working. I tapped my truck's brakes pretty hard a couple of times on the ride home but the trailer wheels didn't lock up. When I was getting the trailer ready for the road I tried to move the brake actuator but it didn't seem like it had much give. Maybe the braks need replaced or bled. I never messed with brakes before. I found 2 MWO tags on the trailer, too dark to see what they are right now. I did take a look at the brake fuild it looked orange in color. FYI don't use a harbor freight Compact Air Compressor item#4077 to fill a 37in run flat tire that has 2psi in the tire took one hour and became very hot almost burned my fingers picking it up after it filled the tire.

There should be a TM for it in the resources section om the toolbar at the top of the page.

here are the links ; TM9-2330-392-14P.pdf

the 3 MWO's have nothing to do with the brakes.

I got my M1102 out Meade for 50 miles home. I found axles hot and smell bad. I think it was due to brake lock even hand brakes release in right position. I also guess it should be wire hookup so to release electrical brake off. Right

No electrical brakes on these trailers, check the above listed manuals in post #2


Also MESHL57492 if your brake fluid is orange could be rusted water, or you surge could be pinned out.
