Wacker Neuson 5000166672 Breakaway Kit

The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Breakaway Kit designed for a wide range of Wacker Neuson heating, surface heating, and light tower equipment — including E2200 and E3000 ground and hydronic surface heaters, E5000 ground heaters, HI 770 XHD indirect air heaters, LTW6K, LTW8K, and LTW20Z-series light towers, Pureheat hydronic heaters, and Arctic Bear HD indirect air heaters. As a genuine OEM part, the is manufactured to the same specifications as the original component installed at the factory, ensuring proper function and fit across the extensive range of compatible machines. This kit is the correct replacement when the original breakaway assembly shows signs of wear, damage, or has been triggered during a tow event and must be replaced to restore safe towing compliance.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Construction — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this Breakaway Kit meets the exact material and mechanical specifications of the original, ensuring the towing safety system functions as engineered.
• Towing Safety System Integrity — A breakaway kit is a critical towing safety component; using a correctly rated, original-specification replacement ensures the braking or shutdown system activates reliably if the trailer separates from the tow vehicle.
• Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to install directly into the existing tow hitch or trailer tongue assembly with no modification to the mounting hardware, keeping your swap straightforward in the field.
• Broad Equipment Compatibility — A single part number covers E2200, E3000, E5000 ground and hydronic surface heaters, HI 770 XHD indirect air heaters, LTW6K, LTW8K, and LTW20Z-series light towers, Pureheat heaters, and Arctic Bear HD units.
• Post-Tow-Event Replacement Ready — Once a breakaway kit has been activated or the battery/charge mechanism is depleted, it must be replaced before the unit returns to road use; part number 5000166672 is the correct serviceable replacement.
• Regulatory Towing Compliance — Trailer breakaway systems are required by DOT regulations on towable equipment; replacing a worn or previously triggered unit with the correct OEM kit keeps your trailer legally road-ready.

A breakaway kit is a mandatory safety device installed on towable trailers that triggers an independent braking or engine-shutdown function if the trailer becomes accidentally disconnected from the tow vehicle while in motion. On Wacker Neuson towable equipment such as light towers, ground heaters, hydronic surface heaters, and indirect air heaters, the breakaway kit typically includes a lanyard-activated switch and battery that apply the trailer brakes automatically, bringing the runaway unit to a controlled stop. A depleted battery, corroded contacts, or a previously triggered mechanism will render the system non-functional — making timely replacement of part 5000166672 essential before any tow operation.
