Note: If the system is controlled by a single height valve and a dial already indicates
the air pressure, it is possible to connect to this pressure indicator in the cab.
4. Insert the cut air line and the ¼" BRT 5220 tube into the "T" fitting and lead this tube
to the front of the tractor in the cab.
5. Insert the BRT 5220 tube into the BRT 5792 fitting and route this tube to the BRT
560 air sensor, installed in the cab, to connect them together.
Note: To ensure a seal between fittings, use teflon.
Note: Make sure that the sensor is installed vertically, downwards, to prevent water
or condensation from accumulating in the sensor and damaging it.
6. Assemble BRT 5047 with BRT 5076 component as shown below.
