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
Brakeline Port
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 to how to change your existing trailer brake system to the electric over hydraulic system.

Removing the existing actuator from the tongue.
1. Unthread the tongue brake line fitting from the coupling connect­ing 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 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 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.
