in an emergency. Mark the mounting hole location. Drill a 13/64”
pilot hole in this location. Replace the breakaway switch. Insert the
1/4” self-tapping screw provided and secure in place.
2. Locate the violet wire harness that was shipped with the white
grounding harness and removed from the other battery box. Attach
it to the positive terminals of both batteries (Marked with the red
plastic caps). Route the violet wire from one battery to the other
through the notches provided in the backside of each battery box.
3. The remaining terminal on the violet wire as well as the brown
wires from the breakaway switch will be connected to wire harness
No. 5110522 at a later time.
Wiring Instructions
The wire harnesses for all kits are made identical. Some installa-
tions will have excess wire. All excess wire can be placed back into
the tongue when assembly is complete.
Diagram G is a wiring diagram showing what colors wires are con-
nected together for the brake system to operate properly.
Each wire harness section is identified by number as indicated on
the schematic drawing Diagram G.
1. Locate wire harness No. 5110488. This harness is used to at-
tach the 7-prong tongue harness to the lights on the trailer. Insert
the wire harness into the front of the tongue. Pull it through the
tongue and out the rear through the hole provided in the tongue
cover. Connect the harness to the wire harnesses in the trailer side
frames. Note that the two- single brown wire leads will not be used
in this application. The connector plugs on these two single brown
wires must be taped and then placed inside the tongue. See Dia-
gram G. Leave the front of the wire harness No. 5110488 out the
front of the tongue until directed later.
2. Locate wire harness No. 5110522. Note that one end of the
harness has a violet and brown wire connected at a female plug.
The individual wires in this harness are taped together at various
locations. Cut the tape attaching the violet and brown wire that are
joined at the female plug the same distance as what the brown wire
is long. (Approximately 30”).
3. Attach the violet wire from the positive side of the battery to the
plug attaching the violet and brown wires in harness No. 5110522
just described.
4. Pull this brown wire, and the remaining single bullet plugs, black,
blue, and another brown wire through the hole in the tongue cover
and out the front of the tongue. The end of the harness that has
the double plugs must be to the rear of the tongue when properly
installed and will be connected to the actuator at a later time.
5. Route the two brown wires from the breakaway down through
the hole in the top of the tongue and out the front of the tongue.
Connect the two- single brown wires of harness No. 5110522 to
the wires from the breakaway switch. Note that either wire from
the breakaway switch can be plugged into either brown wire in the
harness. The remaining black and blue wires will be attached to the
tongue harness at a later time.
6. Locate the tongue harness with the 7-prong plug supplied in the
kit. Insert the end opposite of the 7-prong wire harness into the hole
in the top of the tongue that the original wire harness was removed
from. Pull the wire harness out of the front of the tongue so they
can be connected to the other harnesses.
6. Connect the wires in the 7-prong tongue harness with the wires
in harness No. 5110488 and 5110522 just installed. Mate the cor-
rect color wires as shown in Diagram G.
7. Route the white ground wire to the side of the tongue. Secure
the grounding ring on the wire to the tongue with a No, 10 self-tap-
ping screw.
8. Route the remaining wire harness No. 5110522 down the side frame
of the trailer to the actuator. Note that the kit has split lastic conduit
and plastic ties to hold and secure the wires. The wires can be taped
or tied to the brake line to help support them on a steel frame trailer.
Note that the harness No. 5110522 harness is a universal harness
that has plug connectors on it. These plugs are to be cut off and the
wires cut to the required length to attach them to the leads from the
actuator. Cut, strip the coating on the wires approximately 5/16”
and mate the ends of harness No. 5110522 to the actuator wires
as shown in Diagram G. Attach them together with the butt connec-
tors that are already attached to the leads on the actuator. Tape all
connections just made with electrical tape.
9. Once all connections are made, push any excess wires into ei-
ther the tongue or the side frame of the trailer. Place in the rubber
grommets either removed or supplied in the kit to protect the wires
from fraying when the trailer is towed.
10. Wiring should now be complete. Retighten the rear bolt that
attaches the tongue cover and holds the tongue into the frame that
was loosened earlier to assist in the installation of the wires.
ALL MODELS
Filling the System With Brake Fluid
All Kits
Fill the reservoir on the actuator with an Arctic-SAEJ1702 or
SAEJ1703 brake fluid or a fluid that is comparable. Remove one
of the reservoir caps located on the actuator unit as identified in
Diagram A or B. Only one cap has to be removed. Add fluid until the
reservoir is full. Bleed the brake system following the procedure for
bleeding the brakes. If complete bleeding of the system is required,
it may be necessary to add fluid to the reservoir during the bleed-
ing process. Once the system is completely bled, refill the reservoir
until full. Replace the cap and tighten to seal our any moisture that
may enter during normal use.
Bleeding The Brake System
All Kits
Partial Bleeding of the Hydraulic Brake System
If the electric over hydraulic system is being added to a current
brake system that is already installed and has been in use it is pos-
sible that you only need to bleed the air out of the system where
the connections were made in the lines to connect the new actuator
system. The procedure is as follows:
1. Check to make sure brake fluid has been added to the system
as recommended above.
2. Pull the cable on the breakaway switch installed just behind the
coupler. This will pull a pin out the switch automatically activating
the switch. The actuator will now draw its power from the batteries
installed on the trailer. The actuator will continue to run until the bat-
