DAY-TO-DAY OPERATION
Attach the pedal clamp — #650997
continued from preceding page
Note: your 9700 may have one of three different
pedal clamps. The instructions below are for pedal
clamp number 650997. See the next two pages if
your 9700 has a different pedal clamp.
7. Verify that the pedal clamp is right side up, as
shown in Figure 6 — the arrow on the sticker will point
“Up” when the pedal clamp is properly positioned.
8. Release the catch (Figure 6) on the pedal clamp
— with your index finger under the top and your thumb
over the bottom of the thumb lever (Figure 6), rotate
the thumb lever until the catch is released.
9. There are two hinged tabs at the top of the ped-
al clamp, and two at the bottom (Figure 7). Push
against the tabs to open the pedal clamp to its full-
est extent.
10. Position the pedal clamp over the towed vehi-
cle’s brake pedal, so that all four of the tabs are over
the brake pedal.
Now, compress the pedal clamp by pushing the
top and bottom tabs toward each other (Figure 8).
Continue to ratchet the pedal clamp down, until all
four tabs are hooked around and under the brake
pedal, and one of the locking teeth (Figure 8) in the
catch (Figure 6) is fully indented into the locking
notch (Figure 8).
Note: on the initial fitting, it may be necessary
to adjust the tabs on the pedal clamp — use pliers to
bend any or all of the tabs so that they hook around
and under the towed vehicle’s brake pedal.
Once the tabs have been adjusted to a specific
brake pedal, no further adjustment to the pedal clamp
is necessary for that vehicle.
For every subsequent vehicle, inspect the ped-
al clamp on the initial fitting. Verify that all four tabs
are hooked around and under the brake pedal. If nec-
essary, bend the tabs to fit, as described above.
Make certain that all four tabs on the pedal
clamp are securely hooked around the brake ped-
al. If the tabs are loose, the pedal clamp can ro-
tate out of position and hold the brake pedal
down, even when the 9700 is not activated, which
will cause brake damage or other consequential,
non-warranty damage.
