lic system will be installed on your trailer. Diagram A is a generic

Installation Instructions for Aluminum Frame
Trailers with a GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating) Less than 6,000 lb.
Use Kit No. TA0016
Removing the existing actuator from the tongue.
1. Unthread the tongue brake line fitting from the coupling connect-
ing it to the frame brake line tubing.
2. Loosen the rear tongue bolt attaching the tongue and tongue
cover to the frame. This will allow you to move the tongue cover
while installing the new wire harnesses into the tongue. NOTE:
ALL NEW WIRES USED IN THE INSTALLATION WILL HAVE TO
BE PLACED THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE TONGUE COVER.
3. Remove the bolts attaching the existing actuator to the tongue.
The complete unit can be now be removed pulling the tongue brake
line tubing out of the front of the tongue.
4. Remove the safety chains from the tongue. The new safety
chains supplied in the kit will be installed.
4. 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 trailers are stainless steel. Also the U-bolts for
attaching the mounting brackets for the actuator and the bat-
tery boxes on the aluminum trailers are stainless steel. They
require that you use the appropriate size nuts with the nylon
inserts. It is also recommended that you use an anti-seize lu-
bricant (Supplied in the kit) on the threads before the nuts are
installed 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 tightening thus preventing
the U-bolts from tightening properly.
