Today, were going to take a quick look at the Titan zinc plate brake actuator with lockout
shield, part number T4747210. This actuator is designed to work with trailers that are
equipped with disc hydraulic brakes. The nose of the coupler is fitted for a 2-5/16 inch
trailer ball. A hydraulic actuator works on momentum. As you brake in the vehicle, the
trailer will push against the vehicle on the ball and the system will compress activating
the master cylinder and then sending brake fluid out to the line and back to your disc
brakes.The coupler is made out of steel and finished in a zinc plating to help protect
against corrosion. Up top, youll see we have a breakaway system here.
Theres a steel cable and youll fit the hook end onto your tow vehicle. That way, if the
trailer were to ever come separated this cable will pull tight, activate this lever, and
apply brakes to the trailer. Up top here, youll see our fill cap for the brake fluid
reservoir.Its a bolt-on system. On the housing here, youll see a series of boltholes that
you can use to bolt this directly to your trailers tongue.The latch system works like
this: Well pull up on this ring so that we can release the handle and then pull up
on the handle. To close it, well just push forward.
