Attach the pedal clamp and air cylinder
continued from preceding page
in Figure 1 — the arrow on the sticker will point “Up” when
the pedal clamp is properly positioned.
3.
Pull the hairpin clip (Figure 1) out, then lift the slotted
arm (Figure 1) up and out of the way.
4.
Move the pedal clamp over the brake pedal. Then hold
the clevis (Figure 2) and pull back on the spring post
(Figure 2), until the tabs under the pedal clamp are wide
enough to clear the brake pedal.
5.
Fit the pedal clamp onto the brake pedal, so that all
four tabs are hooked around it (Figure 3). Then release
the spring post.
Note: on the initial fitting, it may be necessary to adjust
the tabs on the pedal clamp — use pliers to bend any or
all of the tabs so that they hook around and under the
towed vehicle’s brake pedal.
Once the tabs have been adjusted to a specific brake
pedal, no further adjustment to the pedal clamp is neces-
sary for that vehicle.
If BrakeMaster is switched between towed vehicles,
always check the pedal clamp on the initial fitting. Verify
that all four tabs are hooked around and under the brake
pedal. If necessary, bend the tabs to fit, as described
above.
CAUTION
Make certain that all four tabs on the pedal clamp
are securely hooked around the brake pedal.
If the tabs are loose when the vehicle is towed,
the pedal clamp can rotate out of position and hold
the brake pedal down, even when BrakeMaster is not
activated, which will cause tire and/or brake damage,
or other consequential, non-warranty damage.
6.
Swing the slotted arm back over the spring post, fit
the spring post through one of the slots (Figure 3), and
reattach the hairpin clip (Figure 3).
7.
Now that the pedal clamp is in place, attach the ad-
justable arm to the mounting post — insert the safety pin
through the mounting post and adjustable arm, as shown
in Figure 4. Then fit the loop at the end of the hasp (Figure
5) over the end of the safety pin.
Note: the mounting post may be attached to a seat
adaptor bracket, near the front of the driver’s seat, or it
may be attached to an anchor plate under the driver’s
seat.
Whether it is attached to a bracket or a plate, the fol-
lowing instructions are identical.
8.
When it is connected, the air cylinder must be pulled
back toward the mounting post, in order to keep the weight
of the cylinder off the brake pedal.
If necessary, shorten the reach of the air cylinder —
remove the two bolts and nylon nuts (Figure 4) attaching
the cylinder to the adjustable arm (Figure 4). Slide the
air cylinder down the adjustable arm until the end of the
adjustable arm must be pulled back to attach it to the
mounting post. Then replace the bolts and nylon nuts.

CAUTION
The air cylinder must be pulled back when it is con-
nected, in order to create sufficient spring tension to
keep the weight of the cylinder off the brake pedal.
If the cylinder is not pulled back when it is con-
nected, the weight of the cylinder may cause the ped-
al clamp to depress the towed vehicle’s brake pedal
continuously, which will cause excessive brake wear,
brake system damage and/or other consequential, non-
warranty damage.
If necessary, shorten the reach of the air cylinder,
as described above, until it must be pulled back to
