BD Universal Remote Mount Vacuum Brake

The brake pressure at idle is required to be checked and adjusted at time of installed,

two weeks after installed, and on a regular twice a year interval.

For Ford IDI and Chevy vehicles adjust the brake pressure to

8-10lb at idle; and Ford PowerStrokes, adjust to 10-12lb at idle.

On Dodge 6BTA (1989-98) with the stock exhaust valve springs, adjust the idle

pressure to 10-12lb at idle, and if the heavy duty valve springs have been installed,

adjust idle pressure to 18-20lb at idle. Dodge ISB (1998-up), adjust idle pressure to

18-20lb at idle.

Never adjust the brake to the 60 lb. setting on an engine that has not had the heavy-

duty engine exhaust valve springs installed first.

With the normal mounting position of the Control Valve Assembly being on the frame

rail, it would make it exposed to water if driven through rivers, creeks, or deep bodies

of water. If the Exhaust Brake is being used during these situations, water could be

sucked through the venting filter and eventually into the Vacuum Cylinder, damaging

booth. For the best prevention of this damage, do not operate the brake during these

occurrences.

The best scenario for exhaust braking is when going down hill, select a gear that lets

you maintain a constant speed with little or no use of the chassis's brakes, or the

same gear that would be used to go up the same grade of hill. This also depends on

the weight, load or road conditions that the vehicle will come upon.

So, in summary, by using the BD Exhaust Brake, you reduce the need for use of your

chassis's brakes in situations where you need to slow down or maintain (i.e. hills, off

ramps, approaching speed changes or traffic lights).

By reducing the use of your

chassis' brakes, in these situations, the heat build up is reduced, as well as wear and

damage to linings and drums. And, when you reduce these factors, you save your

chassis's brakes for when you really need them (i.e. for stopping or emergencies).

The BD Exhaust Brake is not a substitute for your chassis's brakes and, cannot correct

or compensate for poorly maintained or misadjusted brakes. But, when you need to

slow down or maintain a constant speed, the BD Exhaust Brake will be a valuable and

effective tool. Exhaust Brakes are more efficient at preventing than correcting an over

speed condition.

To increase the life of your exhaust brake we recommend daily operation. This could

simply be switching it on and off a couple times a day. This will prevent the butterfly

from sticking due to carboning up.

Thank you and happy motoring,
