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.
Installation Instructions
Diagram A will show a typical view of how
the new electric over hydraulic system will
be installed on your trailer. The Diagram
is a generic view of a steel and aluminum
frame trailer coupler over 6,000# GVWR.
Remove all items and hardware from the
box and sort by size.

Actuator Coupler Installation
TA0015 Kit Only
Removing the existing actuator from the
tongue:
Brakeline Port
• Unthread the tongue brake line fitting 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.
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 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 antiseize 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
flange lock nuts are used on these U-bolts.)
Failure to mate the proper nuts with proper Ubolts will cause the nuts to freeze when tightening thus preventing the U-bolts from tightening
properly.
Installing the New Coupler Assembly
1. Locate the Electric over hydraulic ball coupler 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 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.
Diagram D
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 placing 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 removed 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 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 4”, and 5” steel frame
tubing as well as both the 5” and 6” aluminum Ibeams. Locate the appropriate size stainless steel

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. Remove 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
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 breakaway switch that is shipped in the other box. Installation instructions 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 Diagram 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 assembly 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 terminals (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.
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
