Weld-On Actuators
Actuator is shipped with the rear cover attached to the
actuator housing. Leave the rear cover on for positioning
and the first “Tack” welds to hold the actuator in position.
The rear cover will be removed during the remainder of the
welding operation.

so that it will not roll or move during welding. (picture #1)
Remove coupler or original actuator from the
trailer tongue.
Thouroughly clean surface of the tongue where the
new actuator will be welded to the tongue.
2. Place new Tie Down Engineering actuator on tongue

trailer tongue so that the end of the tongue is
touching the angle plate on the underside of the
actuator as shown right (picture #2. Tongue and
actuator must be level (pictures 1 & 2).
WARNING- must be knowledgeable in welding. If you are not comfortable with welding the actuator
to your trailer tongue, have a professional do this for you. Warranty does not cover damage caused
