Emergency Stop Cable or E-stop Cable
The TDE 165 Raptor actuator is supplied with an emergency stop system that applies the brakes in the unlikely
situation were the trailer becomes disconnected from the tow vehicle. The cable is PVC coated and coiled for
convenience. On one end the cable is connected to a lever arm on top of the actuator. The other end of the cable
has a hook to connect to the tow vehicle. Should the trailer become disconnected from the tow vehicle (both coupler
and/or chains) the E-stop cable would pull the lever and activate the master cylinder. A steel spring lock keeps the
pressure on the brakes until manually released.
1. When towing the vehicle, connect the end of the E-stop cable to the tow vehicle.
2. Never connect the E-stop cable to the safety chains or cables.
3. Connection point should be a position on the tow vehicle that is different from the safety cables or chains.
