The
Model 660E works by the “surge” or “push” of the trailer toward the tow
vehicle. This automatically synchronizes the trailer brakes with the
tow vehicle axle brakes. When the trailer pushes against the tow
vehicle, the actuator telescopes together and applies the force to the
master cylinder, supplying hydraulic pressure to the brakes. The
built-in dampening shock absorber retards the telescoping shock against
the hitch ball. Be sure to comply with the regulations for brakes in
your state. Brake laws are sometimes minimum standards, and you may wish
to add additional brakes to a trailer.
Read the tow vehicle's
owner’s manual on towing capacity and other towing recommendations
before installing brakes or this actuator. The Model 660E Actuator is
completely assembled and ready to bolt into place, if not already
installed. Manufactured for tongue sizes: 3”x 3”, 3”x 4” & 3”x 5”.

Maximum Actuator Capacity:
- Gross Load: 6,600 lbs.

The
actual in-service rating is limited to that of the ball and hitch or
the least-rated component on the tow vehicle or trailer being used, or
the trailer manufacturer’s G.V.W.R. shown on the certification label,
whichever is lower (note: G.V.W.R. is the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating,
which includes the trailer and the load weight as a total gross weight).
