Is a Breakaway Required with the BrakeRite EHB Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Part # T4813102
Question:
Do we need absolutely a battery if we use chain as safety . The unit will be able to deliver the pressure
asked by: Sylvio
Expert Reply:
If the 12 volt feed to the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit part # T4813102 is broken then the unit will not be able to apply the brakes. This is why you will also need to use a breakaway system with a separate battery. For this, I recommend the Gel Cell Breakaway Kit for Titan BrakeRite Systems part # T4822100 which comes with everything you need. Most states require that the trailer use both safety chains and a breakaway system. If you need to know specifics then you will want to contact your local DMV or DOT.
