HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Kit Installation - Flat Bed Trailer- Video
Hey, guys. Kevin here with etrailer, and today I'm gonna be showing you how to install the Hydrastar electric-over-hydraulic brake actuator kit for disc brakes, here on our flatbed trailer. Do you haul around heavy machinery on your trailer like our neighbor does here today And you want some more control over your braking and you want more even braking so that you can safely tow that heavy machinery and come to a complete stop exactly when you need to Then an electric-over-hydraulic disc brake kit is going to be the solution for you. The nice thing about an electric-over-hydraulic actuator is that you're gonna be able to use your electric brake controller that's in your tow vehicle. And what that's gonna do is it's going to allow you to manually adjust your breaking settings to exactly what you need it to, depending on the load that you are hauling at the time. Another thing with that is that in the event that you are having some trailer sway, you can easily tap that manual override and activate the actuator so you can kind of brake on the trailer and kind of fix that sway. more

Basically, what happens is when you apply the brakes in your tow vehicle, deceleration occurs, and the momentum will push your trailer toward the rear of your vehicle. So with a surge brake system, the actuator is triggered as your trailer moves forward once the tow vehicle starts to slow down.And when this happens is the inner portion of the actuator right here will contract in and applies force to the master cylinder, which in turn supplies the necessary hydraulic pressure to engage your trailer's brakes. more

Hi there Bighorn owners. Today on your 2014 Heartland Bighorn, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install Hydrastar's 1,600 PSI hydraulic brake actuator. And this is what our actuator looks like when it's installed. We've mounted it just to the sidewall here in the front compartment. I like to have it up a little bit higher. This way it ensures that our reservoir is going to be above our brake lines and our calipers. more

Hi there, Keystone owners. Today, on your 2019 Keystone Montana, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install HydraStar's electric over hydraulic brake actuator and line kit. Along with that, we're going to be using Kodiak's disc brake kit.And this is what our actuator looks like when it's installed. Our hydraulic actuator is going to provide up to 1600 PSI of hydraulic fluid to our brakes at the back, which is optimal for our disc brake system, which requires higher pressure than a drum brake system would. With this kit, we do get everything we need to convert our trailer over from electric brakes to hydraulic brakes. Because in addition to having our actuator here, we also get our brake line kit, which is designed for a tandem axle setup. more
