I spoke with my contact at Titan regarding the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit # T4813102. He stated that if power to the RF in-cab unit is lost (for example if the fuse for the cigarette light where it plugs in blows) the system would still maintain the last settings used before power was removed and until the problem is rectified. You would loose the ability to change settings or use the manual override so you will need to stop and get the problem taken care of as soon as possible before continuing on.

I recommend replacing an entire ladder if it's damaged. You'll want to find a replacement based on the height. Such as the Stromberg Carlson #LA-401 that is 99-1/2 inches tall. They can be cut shorter to customize the length if needed.
