Diagram BB
U-bolts supplied in the kit. (Item No. 5). Place the U-bolts over the
side frame as shown in Diagram BB, insert through the mounting
plate and secure with 3/8” stainless steel lock nuts with the nylon
lock inside the nut. Position the mounting bracket on the frame so
that the front of the bracket is 21 inches from the front of the side
frame. (See Diagram BB, Dimension C.) Tighten.
3. Once the actuator is located attach the grounding ring on the
actuator white wire lead to the inside of the mounting plate with a
No. 10 self-tapping screw.
Brake Line Tubing Connection
1. Starting at the front of the trailer, carefully remove the frame
brake line tubing from the black plastic tubing that is mounted in the
side frame used for routing the wiring and the brake line tubing. Re-
move the tubing so there is sufficient tubing to be routed from the
black plastic tubing to the brake line port as shown on Diagram B.
2. Carefully bend the tubing with smooth round curves making sure
that the line is not kinked as it is formed to its new location.
3. Remove the coupling from the end of the frame brake line used
to connect it to the tongue brake line tubing. Thread the frame
brake line fitting into the port on the actuator shown in Diagram B.
Tighten.
Battery Box Installation Instructions
1. (See Diagram F) Locate the battery box mounting plate, Item
No. 1 and the battery boxes, Item No. 9. Note that there are two
battery boxes and two batteries. They are both required to power
the brake system in the event of an unwanted disconnect from the
tow vehicle.
2. Open the battery boxes and remove both the white and violet
wire harnesses that are shipped in one box. Also remove the break-
away switch that is shipped in the other box. Installation instruc-
tions for these items will be addressed at a later time.
3. Attach the two battery boxes to the mounting plate using 1/4” x
1” carriage bolts and 1/4” lock nuts as shown in Diagram F. Once
all bolts are installed, tighten.
4. Place the assembly on the inside of the frame as shown in Dia-
gram B and secure to the frame using two of the appropriate size
U-bolts as described earlier in the actuator assembly instructions.
Secure with 3/8” flange lock nuts. Position the battery box assem-
bly so it is 21 inches from the front of the frame to the front of the
mounting bracket as shown in Diagram BB. Tighten.
5. Attach the white ground wire just removed to the negative termi-
nals (marked with black plastic cap) of the two batteries. Route the
wires from one battery box to the other using the notch located in
the back side of the battery box. Route the end of the wire harness
with the round grounding lead out the notch of the second box.
Position it on the inside of the trailer side frame and attach with
a No. 10 self-tapping screw. This is necessary so that a positive
ground is created for the system to function properly.
