Credo Hydraulic Installation Instructions
The earth from the BrakeRite actuator and the trailer battery must only connect to the brake
controller output earths as shown in the diagram. They cannot be connected to a common
chassis earth.
Cable gauge should be of sufficient size to avoid voltage drop. The main power feeds to the
actuator from the brake controller should be minimum 20amp.
Mount the actuator in a protected position. Orientation is not important for this, but filler caps
should be level and upright.
Do not run the actuator without fluid as this will damage the pump.
Use new DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
Bleed the brakes by activating the breakaway switch. However, do not run the actuator
continuously for more than 1 minute every 5 minutes. All air must be removed from the system
for the brakes to work correctly. Ensure that the fluid level does not drop below 20mm from the
filler cap opening to avoid more air being pumped into the system.
