Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Kits
The electric over hydraulic brake system
is designed to replace the hydraulic surge
brake actuator that was shipped on your
trailer as standard equipment. The electric
over hydraulic system is activated elec-
trically when you apply the brakes on the
tow vehicle. It can also be operated by a
manual cab control inside the tow vehicle
that allows the operator to apply the brakes
on the trailer without applying the brakes on
the tow vehicle.
The kit is designed to adapt to
different size trailer frames in both steel
and aluminum trailer construction.
You will have extra parts and fasteners
above what is required for your
particular application.
The following instructions are written to
address the different installations and will
refer to the various diagrams for clarity.
Note that the view shown may not neces-
sarily be an exact view of your trailer but the
instructions will direct you how to change
your existing trailer brake system to the

Removing the existing actuator from the
tongue:
• Unthread the tongue brake line fitting from
the coupling that attaches it to the frame
brake line tubing.
• Remove the mounting bolts that attach the
actuator to the tongue. Remove the actua-

• Remove the safety chains from the tongue.
The new safety chains supplied in the kit
will be installed.
• Unplug the tongue wire harness from the
frame harness using the plug-in connectors.
It will not be used in the new installation.
IMPORTANT
Note: The bolts in the kit used to attach
the coupler and safety chains on all trail-
ers are stainless steel. Also the U-bolts
for attaching the mounting brackets for
the actuator and the battery boxes on
the aluminum trailers are stainless steel.
They require that you use the appropri-
ate size nuts with the nylon inserts. It is
also recommended that you use an anti-
seize lubricant (supplied in the kit) on
the threads before the nuts are installed
