  • Page 110 Driving The exhaust brake is a butterfly type valve mounted in the exhaust pipe. When the operator’s foot is not on the accelerator pedal and the exhaust brake switch is in the ON position, an air cylinder shuts the butterfly valve, restricting the flow of exhaust gases and retarding the engine.
  • Page 111 Driving Note: Maximum exhaust brake performance is related to the type of transmission your vehicle is equipped with. Note: Manual transmissions should be downshifted to the lowest gear possible, without exceeding the maximum RPM limit of the engine. This will maximize the exhaust brake’s retarding effect. Note: Exhaust brakes will operate effectively with automatic transmission, but performance will vary with engine speed and the gear selected by the transmission.
