Optional Manual Shifter (Push-Pull Style)
Mount the push/pull switch on the shifter lever
(Diagram 10), using the switch clamp, and
secure the cable on to the lever.
NOTE: Keep cable away from spots where it
could get pinched during shifting. Strip the ends
of the wires and attach male blade connectors
to each.
Slip off the Red wire from Toggle Switch and
attach to Black wire of Manual Shifter Switch
cable, and, slip off the Yellow wire from Toggle
Switch and attach to White wire of cable. Discard Toggle Switch and its black wire.
Attach the Yellow wire to the middle terminal of Throttle pedal Switch or the 12V
Switched input of the DFIV.
Testing
Start up the engine and turn the toggle switch on to make sure the brake activates.
Depress the throttle pedal and let up on it to check that operation of the throttle switch,
allowing the brake to engage when the throttle is in the resting/idle position.
Using a standard pressure gauge, follow the list below for proper setting, with the
engine running at idle and brake turned on. Install the pressure gauge into the NPT
port on the side of the exhaust brake casting to measure exhaust pressure.
Vehicle
Lbs.
Pressure @ Idle
Chevy 6.2/6.5L & Ford 6.9/7.3L 32lbs. 8-10 lbs.
Ford Powerstroke & Dodge Cummins 40lbs. 10-12 lbs.
Dodge Cummins w/ 60lb. exhaust springs 60lbs. 18-20 lbs.
If the brake pressure does not fall within these limits, please call the BD
Engine Brake technical hotline at (800) 887-5030.
Be sure to test the cruise control disconnect system (where applicable) while test-
driving. Set the cruise at a safe speed and then turn the exhaust brake on, which
should turn the Cruise Control off right away.
If the cruise control does not disengage right away, then turn the exhaust brake off
immediately.
If the cruise control did disengage, then turn the exhaust brake off and hit the resume
function on the cruise control switch to see if the cruise will re-engage.
