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 of low fluid level. To prevent spilling brake fluid on the ground, one end of a length of plastic tubing should be placed over the end of the bleeder screw and the other end should be placed into a container so that the fluid flow can be monitored for bubbles. After all brakes have been bled replace the key in the breakaway switch.
I am including a link to the instruction manual on the Titan BrakeRite EHB Electric-Hydraulic Actuator, part # T4813102. It will describe how to bleed the brakes on page 14 of the manual. Also, I am including a link to a video of bleeding brakes on a trailer.
