cable aligns directly to the center of the pulley wheel
(Figure 5).
If the cable is not directly in line to the center
of the pulley wheel it may be pulled off the wheel
at any time while the vehicle is being driven or
while it is being towed. This will lock the brakes.
If the vehicle is being towed this will result in
non-warranty damage to the brakes and tires, as
well as other consequential damage. If the vehicle
is being driven a loss of vehicular control and/or a
collision may occur.
Failure to align the cable directly to the center
of the pulley wheel may cause property damage,
personal injury or even death.
Note: if you switch the L-shaped clamp from one
side to the other, it may be necessary to adjust the
position of the pulley slightly to the left or right to com-
pensate for the width of the brake pedal arm.
Note: ideally, the pulley should be attached so
that the cable runs parallel to the brake pedal arm,
as shown in Figure 1. If the design of the passenger
compartment or other constraints prohibit this, the pul-
ley c an also be
mounted at an angle.
However it is mount-
ed, the cable must be
directly in line with the
center of the pulley,
as shown in Figure 5.
• Do not double-
w r a p t h e c a b l e
around the pulley for any reason. If the cable is double-
wrapped around the pulley, it may ‘jump the tracks'
when the vehicle is being driven, as shown above,
which will lock the brakes.
Do not double-wrap the cable around the pulley.
Otherwise, the cable may wrap around the pulley
while the vehicle is being driven. This will lock the
brakes.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in
a loss of vehicular control and/or a collision, which
may cause property damage, personal injury or
even death.
•
The pulley must be attached directly to metal — if
the mounting location is carpeted, a section large
enough for the pulley must be removed.
•
The pulley must be mounted on a relatively flat sur-
face (Figure 6).
CAUTION
If the pulley is not mounted on a flat surface, the
pulley bracket may be bent when it is attached.

Plan the installation
continued from preceding page
If the vehicle is equipped with brake pedal pre-
sets, install the cable and brake pedal clamp as-
sembly with the brake pedal as close to the driver’s
seat as possible. Make certain that the brake pedal
is at that position when towing.
As an option, the brake pedal may be moved to
the desired position and disabled. Do not rely on
a mental note to never move the brake pedal.
Failure to follow these instructions may cause
unintended braking and eventual brake failure,
which may result in property damage, personal
injury or even death.

Look for a mounting location for the pulley on the
firewall that meets the following conditions:
•
The pulley (Figure 1) must be positioned directly in
line with the L-shaped brake pedal clamp so that the
