ACTUATOR
The hydraulic brake hoses, tubes, and tube assemblies transfer hydraulic pressure from the brake
actuator master cylinder to the wheel cylinders. The bracket, clip, and clamps secure the front
hose and the tubes to the trailer frame. The union connects the two tubes together. The union t e e
connects the two tube assemblies and the rear hose together.
The wheel cylinders convert hydraulic pressure to mechanical motion, activating the service brakes.
The brakeshoes apply pressure to the brakedrums, slowing and stopping the trailer.
