DAY-TO-DAY OPERATION
Attach the pedal clamp — #650997-1
continued from page 10
Note: your 9700 may have one of three different
pedal clamps. The instructions below are for pedal
clamp number 650997-1. See the preceding or fol-
lowing page if your 9700 has a different pedal clamp.
7. Verify that the pedal clamp is right side up, as
shown in Figure 9 — the arrow on the sticker will point
“Up” when the pedal clamp is properly positioned.
8. Release the catch (Figure 9) on the thumb le-
ver (Figure 9) — with your index finger under the top
and your thumb over the bottom of the thumb lever,
rotate the thumb lever until the catch is released.
9. Position the pedal clamp over the towed vehi-
cle’s brake pedal.
10. There are two hinged tabs at the top of the ped-
al clamp, and two at the bottom (Figure 10). Fit all
four of the tabs over the brake pedal.
Now, compress the pedal clamp at the top and
the bottom, and ratchet it down, until all four tabs are
hooked onto the brake pedal, and the catch at the
top of the thumb lever is fully indented into one of
the locking notches (Figure 11).
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.
In addition to the four hinged tabs, there is a
scored tab at the top of the pedal clamp (Figure 10),
which may also be bent to secure the pedal clamp
to 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.
