Installing The New Coupler Assembly

1. Locate the new 2” coupler in the hardware box, Item No. 7 in

Diagram C. Note that this coupler must be used because it has a

6,000 lb. capacity rating which is greater than the standard Class II

or Class III couplers.

2. Place it on the tongue and attach using a 1/2” x 4” hex bolt (Item

No. 2) through the holes in the back of the coupler. Secure with a

1/2” lock nut.

3. Attach the front of the coupler to the tongue using two- 1/2” x 1-

1/2” hex bolts (Item No. 3) and lock nuts. Tighten.

Attach the new safety chains provided by placing a 1/2” ﬂat wash-

er 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.

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 E on page 4. 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 2 x 4”,

and 2 x 5” steel side frame tubing as well as the aluminum I-beams.

See the note at the bottom of the Bill of Materials listed for Diagram

E. Secure the U-bolts to the assembly using the 3/8” ﬂange lock

nuts provided. DO NOT USE THE 3/8” NUTS WITH THE NYLON

INSERTS IN THEM BECAUSE THEY WILL GAULD UP AND YOU

WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TIGHTEN PROPERLY.

3. Place the proper U-bolts over the side frame as shown in Di-

agram A, insert through the mounting plate and secure with 3/8”

ﬂange lock nuts. Position the mounting bracket on the frame so that

the front of the bracket is 32 inches from the front of the side frame.

See Dimension A in Diagram AA. Tighten.

4. 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 so continuity can be achieved through

the paint coating.

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. Re-

move the tubing so there is sufﬁcient tubing to be routed from the

black plastic tubing to the brake line port as shown on Diagram A.

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 A.

Tighten.

Battery Box Installation

1. (See Diagram E) Locate the battery box mounting plate, Item

No. 1 and the battery boxes, Item No. 9. 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.

2. Open the battery boxes and remove both the white and violet

wire harness that is shipped in one box. Also remove the break-

away switch that is shipped in the other box. Installation instruc-

tions 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 E. 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. Place the

grounding ring on one of the bolts being used to attach the battery

boxes to the mounting plate. This is necessary so that a positive

ground is created for the system to function properly. Once all bolts

are installed, tighten.

4. Place the battery box assembly on the inside of the I-beam as

shown and secure to the I-beam using two of the proper size U-

bolts to ﬁt the I-beam. Place the U-bolts over the I-beam as shown

in Diagram AA and secure with 3/8” nuts with the nylon inserts. Po-

sition the battery box on the I-beam. The front edge of the mounting

bracket should be located back a minimum of 12” from the front of

the I-beam (Dimension B on Diagram AA). Tighten. This distance

is necessary to allow the winch post to be adjusted backwards on

the tongue.

Breakaway Switch Installation

The breakaway switch provided is required so that the brakes on

the trailer will be applied in the event of an unwanted disconnect

from the tow vehicle.

1. Locate the breakaway switch, Item No. 8 in Diagram C. It was

shipped in one of the battery boxes along with a battery. Place it on

the topside of the tongue located just behind the coupler as shown

in Diagram C. It must be positioned so that the front of the break-

away switch is three (3) inches behind the coupler installed earlier.

This is necessary so that the pin in the switch can be pulled out the

front of the breakaway switch to automatically activate the brakes

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.
