BRAKE LOCKOUT MECHANISM (cont.)
5. After backing, the brake lockout will automatically release and swing down the first time the trailer is pulled
forward. The actuator is then again ready for normal forward trailering.
MAINTENANCE
1. Before each towing, perform the following steps:
- Check that the brake fluid reservoir is three-quarters full of DOT 3-4 brake fluid. Check for leaks and repair
as required.
- Examine the actuator for wear, bent parts, corroded/seized parts, or other damage. Have the affected
components replaced with genuine TITAN service parts. Check to determine that the actuator mounting bolts
(where applicable) are tightened to eighty (80) foot-pounds torque using a torque wrench.
- Test the actuator and brake function as descr ibed in the “TESTING TITAN SURGE BRAKE SYSTEMS”
section of this manual. Actuator travel over one inch indicates that the brakes need adjustment (or that the
actuator has been structurally damaged). Actuator travel is the distance the coupler case assembly <2>
moves relative to the outer case <1> during braking. Adjust the brakes following the instructions given in the
brake installation manual. In general, back off adjusters ten clicks from locked drum rotation. Adjust free-
backing brakes by rotating in the forward direction only. Failure to adjust brakes will result in loss of braking.
2. A film of grease on the hitch ball will extend coupler and ball life while eliminating squeaking. Wipe clean and
renew film each time trailer is used.
3. Before towing, examine the actuator for bent parts or wear. Replace parts as necessary. Check to determine that
mounting bolts are tight and welds not cracked.
4. There are no adjustments on the actuator.
5. Actuator travel (over one inch) shown by front roller path indicates a need to adjust the brakes. Adjust per
instructions found in brake installation manual. In general, back-off adjusters 10 clicks from locked rotation. Adjust
Free-Backing brakes by rotating in forward direction only. Failure to adjust may result in loss of braking.
6. Before storage or after extended use, TITAN recommends applying motor oil to the coupler components, lockout
mechanism, and the three internal rollers to keep them moving freely and to prevent corrosion.
