Alf's procedure just checks that the brake system is functioning. It seems like a good idea after each time the trailer is hitched up, but it doesn't help determine the appropriate controller adjustment.
The installer was explaining how to determine the right adjustment for the controller, as described in the installation manual for a typical controller. That only needs to be done once.
