Video Transcript for Review of Demco Brake Actuator Parts - Reverse Lockout Kit - DM5939
Hey everyone. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com and we're going to take a quick look at the manual reverse lockout pin kit for your Demco brake actuators. So this is a pretty simple piece to help you lock out the brakes. So you can actually reverse without those brakes being engaged. It's going to come with a kind of tab to go over your pin and then the clip to keep it in place.So pretty simple, you'll just pull out the actuator, pull out the inner sleeve to expose the side tabs and then place in this pin with the tab facing horizontally, and that should lock into it and help you to make those moves without the brakes being engaged.It does come with some instructions with a diagram to kind of make it a little bit easier to get this installed and this little pin to get that out of place, you just kind of have to coax it around. It sort of wraps around the pen.
So if you pull up on this piece, that should free it up, and then, let you take that off.Rotate it around, there we go. This is made in the USA. It is designed for use with the Demco model, DA91 trailer brake actuator, and it is going to be a rust resistant zinc coated steel pin and that steel tab has a nice powder coat on it to make it resistant to any rest as well. That's about all there is to it for our look at the manual reverse lockout kit for your Demco brake actuator. I hope this video has been helpful.
Thanks for watching.

I haven't installed it yet but it seems well made and appears to be just as advertised.
I watched the installation video and was not impressed. Little-to-no information about how to actually install the item was presented. The item does come with more detailed instructions.
The presentation consisted mainly of talking about the item and no details. It would have been helpful to actually demonstrate the item being installed.

I don't know yet, it's too cold to install in my driveway this week the installation of the manual lever was easy and when I get the brakes and actuator installedv= ///i will send some info.
by: Robert07/20/2019
Sorry to say it didn't do the job 100% as expected. It has to be held in place by hand while vehicle is backing up (dangerous) .. because it will not stay horizontal. Needs either a locking pin option or a longer tang that keeps it atop the plastic piece it is designed to rest on inside the trailers brake system.

- Actuator Needed to Use Demco Manual Reverse Lockout Kit For Hydraulic Brake ActuatorsNo; the Demco Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator # DM72VR is designed for use with free-backing brake systems and does not have a lockout feature- so you wouldn't be able to use the Manual Reverse Lockout Kit # DM5939 with that actuator. To use the Manual Reverse Lockout Kit you would need an actuator like the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator w/Manual Lockout # DM8760011 . This kit requires 1/2" x 4-1/2" Grade 5 bolts (not included) for mounting as well as a coupler similar to # CT-5003-Z...

They both have a 8,000 lb weight capacity and come with the eZ-Latch coupler mechanism so they should work well for you.

- How to Use the Coiled Adapter 7-Way to 5-Flat Part # HM47025 with a Reverse Lockout SolenoidI assume you are referring to the reverse lockout solenoid wire and if that is the case then you would need to wire or check that the trailer side trailer connector has this wire on the far left pin which you can see in the attached photo of similar to the Hopkins Coiled Adapter 7-Way Flat Pin Blade to 5-Flat # HM47025. This pin should then match up with the reverse light circuit on your vehicle's 7-way.

- Recommendation to Replace Atwood 83010 Brake ActuatorYour existing Atwood model 83010 Brake Actuator (which as you mentioned is no longer available) is an 8,000 pound rated assembly for hydraulic drum brakes that's compatible with a 2" ball.

view full answer... - Does Demco Kar Kaddy Have a Reverse Lockout for the Hydraulic BrakesThe Kar Kaddy SS, part # DM9713045, does not have a lock out on the hydraulic brakes to keep them from engaging while in reverse. With that being said in most cases you won't need one because the dolly is only 615 pounds unloaded which won't likely put enough resistance to engage the brakes. It's not recommend to be backed up anyway and definitely don't back up with the vehicle on the dolly. Since the Kar Kaddy swivels at both the platform and the coupler it'll get pretty squirrely and...

- Adding Manual Lockout to Surge Brake ActuatorThe reason there are different actuators for disc brakes and drum brakes is the psi the brakes operate at. Disc brakes operate at a higher psi than drum brakes and either too much or too little pressure can cause damage to the brakes. There are units that can have manual reverse lockouts installed but not all.

view full answer... - Recommended Surge Brake Actuator For Demco DT6000 Trailer With Drum BrakesI would be happy to help! As long as the A-Frame on your trailer is the standard 50-degree angle then the best option to replace your current surge brake actuator would be the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator w Drop - Drum - Primed - A-Frame - 2" Bulldog Coupler - 7,000 lb # DM8509612.

- Installation and Mounting for the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator I looked on Demco's website and was able to pull some information and diagrams on how you would mount the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator item # DM8609101. I have attached them below. I was not able to find any pictures of this Actuator installed. The installation is pretty straight forward though. It mounts to the top of a 3" wide trailer tongue with three 1/2" x 4-1/2" grade-5 bolts. These bolts are not included. This kit does not include a lock out kit so you will need the Manual Reverse...

view full answer... - Is Manual Reverse Lockout as Effective as Solenoid For Demco Actuator A91There isn't an angle I can give you for when the lockout would be needed; however, if you want to be able to back up as needed you will need a reverse lockout with the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM8609502. That said, the Manual Reverse Lockout Kit for Demco Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuators # DM5939 is absolutely just as effective as the Reverse Lockout Solenoid for Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuators - Non-Bypass # DM11993. The trade-off being the manual lockout just isn't as convenient...

The Dexter or Titan brand brake assemblies will work with this Demco actuator cause they are designed to work with the standard 3/16 inch size brake lines.

view full answer... - Solution for Reverse Lockout on Demco DA70 ActuatorThe # DM5939 is only compatible with the DA91 like the # DM8759131. Unfortunately, there is no option for manual lockout on a DA70 like the # # DM72VR. There are two ways you can keep your brakes from locking up with this brake actuator. The first is to add a solenoid like the # DM11993. The other option you have is to switch out the brakes on your trailer with free backing brakes like # AKFBBRK-35-D. These brakes won't engage in reverse so there would be no need to add a lockout to your...
