for 3X5 Tongues
Remove the outer housing unit/UFP actuator and safety
chains from the existing tongue. Save the hardware
removed. Remove the tongue wire harness and save.
Remove the tongue from the trailer frame cap and save
the hardware.
Place the swing tongue assembly into the frame cap
of the frame weldment. Secure with existing hardware
(1/2” X 4” hex bolt and 1/2” flange lock nut).
Run the existing wire harness from the front of the
swing tongue assembly to the rear and connect to the
frame wire harnesses. Secure the wire harness with
7/8” grommet.
Connect the 6-1/2” brakeline to the 18” male-
female brake hose. Using a coupling connect
the 18” male-female brake hose to the brakeline
assembly with hook. Run this brakeline assembly
through the front of the swing tongue unit to the rear
and connect to the brakeline inside the frame. Connect
the brakeline assembly again to the inner actuator
inside the outer housing unit of the UFP actuator.
Place the actuator-housing unit to the front of the swing
tongue using the existing three (3) 1/2” X 4” hex bolts
and 1/2” flange lock nuts. Using a 1/2” X 5” hex bolt
on the lower right mounting hole on the swing tongue,
secure the safety chain. Place a 1/2” flat washer on the
1/2” X 5” hex bolt followed by one (1) safety chain and
insert into the actuator housing unit and tongue. Place
the second safety chain on the bolt followed by a 1/2”
flat washer and 1/2” flange lock nut. Tighten.
Bleed the brake to remove any air that may be in the
brakelines.
