BRAKE PEDAL ADJUSTMENT
After brake pedal replacement or repair, adjust
the pedal to its proper position according to the
following procedure:
1. Replace the linkage, loosen threaded rod
lock nuts and screw or unscrew the threaded
adjustment rod in order to obtain a 45
o
brake
pedal inclination (Fig. 13).

16. STOPLIGHT SWITCHES
Two electro-pneumatic stoplight switches are
mounted on the dual brake application valve (E-
12). The upper one is used for the primary air
circuit while the lower one is used for the
secondary air circuit. Both switches are
connected in parallel and have the same
purpose, i.e. completing the electrical circuit and
lighting the stoplights when a brake application is
made. The upper switch (AC Delco) is designed
to close its contact between 2 psi and 4 psi (14
kPa to 28 kPa) (Fig. 14), while the lower one
(Bendix, SL-5) closes its contact at 4 psi (28
kPa) (Fig. 15). The switches are not serviceable
items; if found defective, the complete unit must
be replaced.
