bleeding process. Once the system is completely bled, refill the reservoir. Replace the cap and
tighten to seal out any moisture that may enter during normal use.
Bleeding of the Hydraulic Brake System:
1. Check to make sure brake fluid has been added to the system as recommended above.
2. Pull the cable on the breakaway switch installed just behind the coupler. This will pull a pin
out the switch automatically activating the switch. The actuator will now draw its power from
the batteries installed on the trailer. The actuator will continue to run until the batteries are
drained. You will be able to hear the actuator motor run.
3. The proper procedure for bleeding the brake system is to start at the caliper that is the
greatest distance from the actuator. Loosen the bleeder screw and allow the air to escape from
the system until brake fluid starts to flow. Allow it to flow until the brake fluid being expelled is
free of any air bubbles entrapped in the lines. Attaching a clear hose on the bleeder screw will
make the air bubbles more visible during the bleeding process.
Close the bleeder screw and tighten.
4. Check the reservoir fluid level to make sure that the actuator does not run low on fluid during
the bleeding process. Refill if necessary. There is a possibility that more air can be introduced
into the system if the fluid level is not kept sufficient in the reservoir.
5. Repeat the process used in step three on the caliper that is the next greatest distance from
the actuator. Continue until all of the brake calipers have been bled.
6. Once the system is bled, when all air is removed, close the bleeder screw. Push the pin
back into the breakaway switch. This will stop the actuator motor.
7. Refill the reservoir with fluid replacing any that may have been used during the bleeding
process.
8. Test the brake system to see if it is bled properly. If brakes function properly the bleeding
process is complete. If they do not operate properly, repeat the above steps and test again.
9. Brake fluid levels in the reservoir should be checked occasionally to make sure your brake
system never runs out of brake fluid.
See the Titan Brake Rite Actuator Installation and Instruction Manual for further
information and operating instructions.
In- Cab Controller:
Locate the In-cab controller supplied with the kit. Remove the instructions and install the unit in
the tow vehicle using the instructions supplied.
Always test the brake system at slow speeds each time you start towing to make sure the
brake system is functioning properly. Should you experience a situation where you do not have
