• Can the Titan BrakeRite Electric-Over-Hydraulic System be Power Washed
  The housing for the Titan BrakeRite electric-over-hydraulic systems is water resistant, but it is not water proof. I recommend staying away from the unit as much as possible when power washing because the circuit board inside the unit is only protected by the white plastic cover. If you want to design a housing around the unit, you will want to design a unit that still allows for air flow. There is a circuit board, a pump motor and electronic connections contained within this unit and...

• Should Electric or Hydarulic Brakes be Used on a Boat Trailer
  For any marine application I strongly advise switching to hydraulic brakes. You cannot seal out water completely and at some point they are going to short out if you keep using electric brakes. To avoid that headache you can switch to hydraulic brakes. There are a few parts you will need to make the switch: The correct brake assemblies Hub and Drum if yours are not hydraulic compatible Actuator Brake line kit Or you could add disc brakes: The correct rotor and hub assembly Actuator Brake...

• Will Braking System Still Function If Power is Lost to In-Cab RF Unit on BrakeRite 1 Plug and Play
  I spoke with my contact at Titan regarding the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit # T4813102. He stated that if power to the RF in-cab unit is lost (for example if the fuse for the cigarette light where it plugs in blows) the system would still maintain the last settings used before power was removed and until the problem is rectified. You would loose the ability to change settings or use the manual override so you will need to stop and get the problem taken...

• Can a Trailer Use Both a Brake Actuator and Electric Brakes
  A trailer can have electric-over-hydraulic brakes. This system will use an electric brake controller to send a signal from the tow vehicle to an actuator when the brakes are applied. The signal triggers the pump and motor on the actuator and activates the trailer brakes. The actuator on an electric-over-hydraulic will look like the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit, part # T4813102. It will not look like a brake actuator coupler that is used on surge brake...

• How To Bleed the Brakes on an Electric Over Hydraulic Brake System on a Car Hauler
  To bleed the brakes remove the key from the breakaway switch to start the unit. Starting with the brake furthest from the actuator open the bleeder screw and allow it to remain open until seeing brake fluid free of air bubbles coming out of the bleeder screw. Close the bleeder screw and move to the next brake and so on until all brakes have been bled. While performing the bleeding process, monitor the fluid level in the reservoir so that more air is not pumped into the brake lines because...

• Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator Adapter Not Working on 2008 Ford Super Duty Brake Controller
  First, make sure that the adapter #T48456000, is wired into the input wires on the BrakeRite EHB. White to white and blue to blue. The adapter is simulating the load of brake magnets so that the brake controller thinks there are just electric brakes on the trailer. I think the key here is where you have the white wire attached. Since these system ground in more than one place you may need to move the white wire to an alternate ground wire in the system. The old way this was done was to...

• Can a Surge Brake Coupler Be Used with an Electric Over Hydraulic Brake System
  If you lock out your surge actuator you could still use it with your Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit part # T4813102. It would be just a matter of finding an appropriate place to mount the unit. People do this pretty frequently. Usually on the side of the actuator there is a an area where you can run a bolt through the actuator to prevent the actuator from moving. Without knowing what coupler you have it's hard to say exactly what you would need to do. Without...

• Motor Runs on Brake Rite EHB Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator but Does Not Build Pressure
  It sounds like the motor is running but not building pressure. This could indicate a leak somewhere since you have a full reservoir. The next thing you can do is bleed the brakes to ensure the system is free of air in the lines. I have included a picture of how the EHB should be wired. The black and purple wires in the diagram should have 12 volt power. The blue wire should have power when the brake controller is activated. Check the breakaway switch and battery to make sure they are...

• Where Should the Titan Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator be Placed on a Trailer
  The placement of the actuator, # T4813102, is up to you. What is going to be best for disc brakes when they are 40 feet away and the actuator is mounted at the front of the trailer is larger brake lines. Larger diameter brake lines will provide better response time. The instructions, which I will send to you in a separate email, cover the installation method and locations. But you can also install it closer to the axles if you want. I have included a link to an FAQ article that should...

• Is the Titan BrakeRite Waterproof
  In order for something to be waterproof it needs to be able to be submerged under water for a certain amount of time and not allow any water in. I spoke to my contact at Titan and he informed me that the Titan BrakeRite EHB Electric-Hydraulic Actuator is water resistant, but not water proof. What this means is that as long as you do not submerge this unit under water you should be fine. It will withstand rain but you would not want to let it get submerged. These get used on boat trailers...

• Titan EHB Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Will not Pressurize
  There are a few different issues that could cause your Titan EHB actuator to not build pressure. The first and easiest things to check is the ground connection and fluid level. A poor ground is the most common cause for electric-over-hydraulic actuators to fail. The actuator should be grounded to a 12 volt battery, not the trailer frame. The trailer frame is not a suitable ground location for this actuator. If you adjust the ground connection and the unit will still not pressurize, you...

• Can the Titan BrakeRite Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator be Submerged Underwater
  Installation location of the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit, # T4813102, is at the discretion of the installer. However, you do not want to submerge it underwater so it would be a good idea to move it forward if at all possible. The cover on the system is not 100 percent water tight so it you can keep it out of the water that would be ideal. I have included a link to the installation details for you.
