Function/Use
NOTE
For proper braking action, don't fan the brake pedal with short rapid applications. This wastes air
pressure. Use steady but hard application that road and load conditions will permit, gradually reducing
foot pressure so vehicle comes to a smooth stop, and you have enough air pressure to hold the vehicle. If
you feel a slight throbbing when you depress the pedal, it's because of the antilock system.
1
CONTROL - AIR BRAKE
Pedal is swing mounted to a four way air control valve. As pedal is
PEDAL/VALVE ASSEMBLY
depressed, the air valve actuates all four vehicle brakes at same time.
2
ACCELERATOR PEDAL
Controls vehicle speed and transmission shifting. Use light foot
pressure when you depress the pedal so the transmission can shift
smoothly. Flooring the pedal causes poor engine and automatic
transmission performance.
