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 electrically 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 necessarily be an exact
view of your trailer but the instructions will direct you how to change your existing trailer
brake system to the electric over hydraulic system.

attaching the mounting brackets for the actuator and the battery 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 lubricant (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 ange 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.
Installing the New Coupler Assembly
1. Locate the ball coupler mounting bracket, Item 3. (See Diagram
D) Place it on the end of the tongue and attach it with three (3)
½” x 4 ½” hex bolts and lock nuts. Tighten. Note that the bolt
pattern in the coupler mounting bracket is the same bolt pattern
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 ¾” hex bolts (Item No. 7) and lock nuts. Tighten.
Attach the new safety chains provided by placing a ½” at washer on a ½” x 1 ½” 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 removed from. Secure
with the ½” ange 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.
Installation Instructions
Diagram A & B will show a typical view of how the new electric over
hydraulic system will be installed on your trailer. The Diagrams are
of a steel and aluminum frame trailer coupler over 6,000# GVWR.
Remove all items and hardware from the box and sort by size.
Installation Instructions for Aluminum Trailers with
a GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) greater
than 6,000 lb.
Actuator Coupler Installation
Removing the existing actuator from the tongue:
• Unthread the tongue brake line tting 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 actuator and tongue brake line. They will
no longer be used in the new installation.
• 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.
SD Control Module Mounting Instructions
Locate the SD control module mounting bracket. Orientate as
shown in the drawing. Position the SD control module so the
mounting holes in it align with the square or rectangular holes in
the mounting plate. Secure the SD control module to the mounting
plate with two- ¼” x 1” carriage bolts and hex nuts. Tighten.
Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Installation
1. Locate the actuator mounting plate, Item No. 2 and the brake
actuator, Item No. 21. Place one each 5/16” lock washer on
the three 5/16” x 1” hex bolts. Attach the brake actuator 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 appropriate holes for attaching to
both the 5” and 6” aluminum I-beams. Locate the appropriate
size stainless steel U-bolts supplied in the kit. (Item No. 9).
Place the U-bolts over the side frame as shown in Diagram C,
insert through the mounting plate and secure the rear U-bolt
with 3/8” stainless steel nuts with the nylon locks.
3. Place the SD control module mounting bracket over the legs of
the remaining U-bolt and secure with 3/8” stainless steel nuts
with the nylon locks. Note that the SD control module is now located between the hydraulic actuator and the front of the trailer
frame.
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

Battery Box Installation Instructions
Locate the battery box mounting plate, Item No. 1 and the battery
boxes. 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.
1. Attach the two battery boxes to the mounting plate using ¼” x 1”
carriage bolts and ¼” lock nuts as shown in Diagram D. Once
all bolts are installed, tighten.
2. Place the assembly on the inside of the frame as shown in Dia-
gram A 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” hex nuts w/ nylon locks. Position
the battery box assembly from the front of the frame to the front
of the mounting bracket as shown in Diagram C. Leave the ubolts loose so the battery boxes can be moved forward so the
battery wire harness will reach.
Batteries
1. Place the batteries in the battery boxes. Remove the protective
covers from the battery terminals. Locate the battery wire har-
