to prevent seizing when they are tightened. All
other U-bolts in the kit are plated steel and are
used on the steel frame trailers. The standard
flange lock nuts are used on these U-bolts.)
Failure to mate the proper nuts with proper U-
bolts will cause the nuts to freeze when tighten-
ing thus preventing the U-bolts from tightening
properly.
Installing the New Coupler Assembly
1. Locate the Electric over hydraulic ball cou-
pler mounting bracket, Item 2. (See Diagram D)
Place it on the end of the tongue and attach it with
three (3) 1/2” x 4-1/2” hex bolts (Item No. 3) and
lock nuts. Tighten. Note that the bolt pattern in the
coupler mounting bracket is the same bolt pat-
tern as the UFP 8,000 & 10,000 series actuator.
If your trailer is an earlier model the bolt pattern
of your tongue may not match the pattern of the
coupler mounting bracket supplied. Your tongue
will have to be re-drilled so the coupler mounting
bracket can be mounted to your tongue.
2. Attach the 2-5/16” coupler to the mounting
bracket just installed using 4- 5/8” x 1-3/4” hex
bolts (Item No. 4) and lock nuts. Tighten.
Attach the new safety chains provided by plac-
ing a 1/2” flat washer on a 1/2” x 1-1/2” hex bolt.
Insert the bolt through the end link on one of the
new safety chains provided. Insert the bolt into
the mounting hole that the old chains were re-
moved from. Secure with the 1/2” flange lock
nut. Tighten. Repeat on the other chain.
3. The breakaway switch shown in the diagram will
be installed at a later time. Instructions for mounting
the breakaway switch follow later in the assembly.
Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Installation
1. See Diagram F, Page 5. Locate the actuator
mounting plate, Item No. 2 and the brake actuator,
Item No. 10. Place one each 5/16” lock washer on
the three 5/16” x 1” hex bolts. Attach the brake ac-
tuator to the mounting plate using the three 5/16” x
1” hex bolts. Tighten.
2. Place the assembly on the inside of the side
frame. Note that the mounting plate has the appro-
priate holes for attaching to 4”, and 5” steel frame
tubing as well as both the 5” and 6” aluminum I-
beams. Locate the appropriate size stainless steel
