Actuator
Locate the actuator, and position it on the front of the
tongue as shown. Look into the back end of the actuator
and locate the solenoid. Note there is a wire harness
coiled around the round solenoid. Uncoil the wire and
plug it into the bullet plug on the end of the blue wire of
the tongue harness. Remove the plastic plug from the
port in the rear of the solenoid. Thread the fitting on the
end of the tongue brake hose into the port of the
solenoid. Tighten.
Align the holes in the actuator with the holes in the
tongue. Secure the actuator to the tongue using three
(3) 1/2” x 4” hex bolts and lock nuts. Tighten.
Thread the brass coupling provided on the other end of
the brake hose just installed. Align so it can be mated to
the brake hose from the side frame. Once aligned
thread the side frame brake hose into the other end of
the coupling. Tighten both hoses into the coupling. Plug the tongue wire harness ends into the frame
harnesses by matching colors and ends. Push the
extra wire provided, either into the hole in the tongue
or else remove the grommet in the side frame and
place the extra wire in the side frame. Place
grommets into all the wire holes. Replace grommets
just removed from the side frames.
Safety Chains
Mount the safety chains to the front of the tongue by
placing a 1/2” flat washer onto a 1/2” x 1 1/2” hex
bolt, and then insert the bolt through the last link on
one of the safety chains provided. Insert the bolt
through the hole provided in the front of the tongue
as shown. Secure with a 1/2” hex flange lock nut.
Repeat the process on the other chain. Tighten.
Tongue
The tongue comes shipped separately. Locate and install under the frames front tongue channel and in the
channel welded to the front cross member which will support the rear of the tongue.
Align the hole in the tongue with the hole in the tongue channel. Install the 1/2” x 4-1/2” carriage bolt in the
front hole and secure with a 1/2” lock nut. Secure the rear of the tongue to the frame with a 1/2” x 4” hex bolt
and lock nut. Tighten.
Tongue Wire Harness
Locate the tongue wire harness. Place the end of the wire harness with the two three wire triangular plugs into
the hole in the top of the tongue. Pull backwards through the tongue until they can be fished through the holes
in each side of the tongue. Note that the brown, white, and yellow harness must go to the left side of the trailer
and the brown, white, and green harness must go to the right side of the trailer.
