following conditions are met:
A.
Make certain that the pedal clamp is not de-
pressing the towed vehicle’s brake pedal — examine the
brake pedal, and also check the towed vehicle’s brake
lights, to make certain they are not illuminated.
make certain that the pedal clamp is not depress-
ing the towed vehicle’s brake pedal.
if the pedal clamp is pushing the brake pedal
down, the brakes will be applied continuously when
brakemaster is connected, which will cause severe
tire and/or brake system damage, as well as other
consequential, non-warranty damage.
failure to follow these instructions may cause
property damage, personal injury or even death.
b.
When it is connected, the air cylinder must be
pulled back toward the anchor plate in order to insert
the safety pin (Figure 4) through the mounting post.
the air cylinder must be pulled back when it is
connected, in order to create sufficient spring ten-
sion to keep the weight of the cylinder off the brake
pedal. if the cylinder is not pulled back when it is
connected, the weight of the cylinder may cause
the pedal clamp to depress the towed vehicle’s
brakes continuously, which will cause excessive
brake wear, brake system damage, or other conse-
quential, non-warranty damage.
c.
The pedal clamp must be flat against the brake
pedal and properly secured with the hairpin clip (Figure
3).
D.
Make certain that there is sufficient clearance
between the mounting post and the bottom of the seat
to allow the seat to slide properly.
10.
Once the four conditions in step 9 (above) are met,
attach the anchor plate. (It may be helpful to remove the
driver’s seat to facilitate the rest of the installation.)
The anchor plate can be attached on top of the
carpet, or underneath it.
A.
To mount the plate on
top of the carpet
, first
use the anchor plate as a template and mark the five
holes to be drilled.
Before drilling, make certain that the retaining screw
(at the bottom of the mounting post) is fully tightened.
(To tighten the screw, reverse the instructions in step 8,
above.) Also, make certain that you will not drill through
any wiring or electrical components underneath the
carpeting, or damage any components on the other

(Figure 4) attaching the cylinder to the adjustable arm
(Figure 4). Slide the air cylinder (Figure 4) up the ad-
justable arm until the anchor plate is over the point you
have chosen. Replace the two bolts and nylon nuts.
Note: if BrakeMaster is switched between towed
vehicles, it may be necessary to lengthen or shorten
the reach of the air cylinder, as described above.
Note: if the vehicle is equipped with an automatic
pedal positioning system, adjust the brake pedal to its
farthest extension (as close as possible to the driver’s
seat) before positioning the air cylinder and the mount-
ing post. This will eliminate the possibility of positioning
the anchor plate too close to the brake pedal.
8.
Next, if necessary, move the air cylinder to the left
or the right, until the mounting post (Figure 4) is directly
in line with the brake pedal.
the air cylinder must be mounted directly in line
with the brake pedal. if it is mounted at an angle
to the brake pedal (to one side or the other), the
air cylinder may jam in the extended position when
brakemaster is activated, which will cause severe
brake system damage, as well as other consequen-
tial, non-warranty damage.
Note: the anchor plate can be rotated clockwise or
counterclockwise, if necessary, to clear any obstructions
— to rotate the anchor plate, remove the air cylinder
and lock the plate in a vise. Use a half-inch open-end
wrench to loosen the mounting post, while holding the
retaining screw (at the bottom of the plate) with an Allen
wrench. Do not turn the retaining screw with the Allen
wrench, as you may damage the wrench or the screw.
When the mounting post is loose, rotate the anchor
plate. Then, tighten the mounting post.

Before attaching the anchor plate, verify that the
