INTRODUCTION TO SURGE BRAKING

 

 
 

Surge  braking  is  accomplished  by  replacing  a  trailer's  standard  tongue  coupler  with  an  actuator  and  adding  hydraulic 
brake  assemblies.  The  "surge"  or  "push"  of  the  trailer  toward  the  tow  vehicle  during  deceleration  automatically 
synchronizes  these  trailer  brakes  with  the  tow  vehicle  brakes.  As  the  trailer  pushes  against  the  vehicle,  the  actuator 
telescopes together and applies force to its master cylinder, supplying hydraulic pressure to the trailer's brakes.  

 
 

Surge  actuators  of  this  type  provide  a  service  life  of  approximately  five  years  with  proper  installation,  usage,  and 
maintenance.  However,  a  well  cared-for  actuator  can  often  exceed  this  estimate.  To  get  the  most  benefit  from  your 
TITAN  surge  actuator,  follow  the  instructions  given  in  this  manual  and  use  common  sense  in  caring  for  the  TITAN 
AERO 7500 actuator and your entire trailer brake system. 

 
 
 

RATED CAPACITY AND USAGE 

 
 

 

 

7,500  POUNDS  MAXIMUM  GROSS  LOAD

  (weight  of  trailer  fully  loaded  with  all  cargo  and  equipment).  To  find  your 

trailer's Gross Load, use a commercial vehicle scale at a truck weigh station, grain elevator, etc. 

 
 

700 POUNDS MAXIMUM TONGUE LOAD

 (weight applied downwards by the fully loaded trailer's coupler onto the tow 

vehicle's  hitch).  Measure  your  trailer's  Tongue  Load  with  the  tongue  in  the  horizontal  towing  position,  using  either  a 
commercial scale or a bathroom scale if the load is small enough. Upwards tongue loads are not permissible. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION AND SERVICE MANUAL 

 

Actuator/Trailer Dealer - Please provide these instructions to the consumer. 

 Consumer - Read and follow these instructions. Keep them with the trailer for future reference. 

TITAN 

 

AERO 7500 

ACTUATOR FOR TRAILER BRAKES 

The  AERO-7500  actuator  is  intended  for  use  on  recreational,  marine,  and  agricultural 
occasional-use trailers, which are towed by passenger cars or pickups. Use 

ONLY with 

a two inch (2") diameter tow ball

. The actual in-service rating is limited to that of the 

ball  and  hitch  being  used  or  the  trailer  manufacturer's  G.V.W.R.  shown  on  the 
certification label, whichever is lower.
