Safety Chain:

bolt (Ref#4) with a 1/2” stainless steel flat washer at the head of the bolt,
followed by a safety chain through the drop tongue tube. Secure with 1/2”

tongue tube.

Brake Line
Place one end of the 58” tongue brake line
(Located in box No. 68140) into the hole in the
top of the tongue located just behind the front
joint of the two side frames. Insert until the end
of the line comes out the front of the tongue.
Place the actuator into its approximate loca-
tion on the tongue. Remove the plastic plug in
the rear of the actuator and thread the brake
line into the port. Tighten. Align the actuator to
be mounted to the tongue. Place a grommet
around the brakeline where it comes out of the
top of the tongue to keep it from vibrating and
chaffing as it is being towed.

Actuator:
Mount the actuator (Ref#10) on the drop the
tongue using three (3) 1/2” X 4-1/2” hex bolts
(Ref#3) and 1/2” stainless steel hex lock nuts
with nylon inserts.

Form the remaining end of the brake line so it
will mate up with the brake line running down
the side frame. Secure the two lines together
with the brass coupling provided in Hardware
box 68140. Tighten to prevent leaks but do not
over tighten.

White Ground Wire Installation
Pull the white wire out the hole in the tongue
with either the brown and yellow or brown and
green plug. Place the self-tapping screw
provided through the round metal ring on the
white ground wire of the tongue harness just
pulled out. Attach the ground wire to the main
frame by driving the screw into the bottom
flange of the side frame. This will assure a
positive ground for the lighting.
