The Model 660E works by the “surge” or “push” of the trailer toward the tow vehicle. This automatically synchronizes the trailer brakes with the tow vehicle axle brakes. When the trailer pushes against the tow vehicle, the actuator telescopes together and applies the force to the master cylinder, supplying hydraulic pressure to the brakes.

Page 4: Hitching The Trailer
1. The vehicle, towing hitch and ball must have a rating equal to or greater than the trailer G.V.W.R. 2. Model 660E will accept 2” or 50mm trailer hitch balls only. Trailer balls larger than 2.00” (50mm) or out of round will not fit the coupler or may result in coupler failure. - Page 5 DANGER: Tongue weight beyond rating limits will interfere with performance of actuator, and braking system, and the tow vehicle. 9. The actuator is designed for use with Free-Backing trailer brakes. To block braking action, (in order to back up) with other types of brakes, use an electric solenoid.

Braking and Trailering Warnings WARNING Actuator and brakes should always be flushed with fresh water after using trailer in corrosive conditions. This includes salt water, fertilizers and other corrosive materials. Before storing trailer remove brakes and clean thoroughly. It is also recommended to repack the bearings at the same time. - Page 7 WARNING A minimum of 5% tongue weight and a maximum 10% tongue weight of the trailer G.V.W.R. must be located on the hitch ball. The Trailer tongue should be parallel to the ground. To much weight can cause premature brake actuation and loss of control of the towing vehicle.

Page 8: Bleeding Instructions
Bleeding Instructions To bleed master cylinder and brakes, install bleeder hose on first wheel cylinder to be bled; if tandem axle trailer, bleed furthermost axle first, and the furthermost brake on that axle first. Use a loose end of hose from the bleeder valve submerged in a glass container of brake fluid to observe bubbling (hose must be submerged into clean brake fluid to keep air from traveling back into the brake cylinder). - Page 9 FRONT FRONT Push the screwdriver forward and back to pump the master cylinder. (See 2B). The bleeding operation for that brake is complete when bubbling stops. Be sure to tighten bleeder screw securely. Each wheel cylinder must be bleed until all air is out of the lines.

Instructions on how to replace emergency brake away cable on Tie Down 660
To replace the emergency breakaway cable on a Tie Down Engineering 660E actuator:
1. Identify the correct cable: Use part #50305 if your actuator has a serial number 16021 or above. This is the emergency stop (breakaway) cable with a button stop.
2. Remove the old cable: Locate the existing breakaway cable on the actuator (reference #3 in the schematic). Disconnect it from the actuator and its mounting point.
3. Install the new cable: Attach the new cable (part #50305) in the same position as the old one, ensuring the button stop is properly seated and secured.
4. Verify function: Ensure the cable moves freely and activates the emergency braking system when pulled.
Always verify the serial number of your actuator before ordering and installing parts.
