for
pedal clamp #9329
Note: your 9700 may have one of
three different pedal clamps. The
instructions below are for pedal clamp
number 9329. See the preceding
two pages if your 9700 has a
different pedal clamp.
Attach the pedal clamp — #9329

Note: your 9700 may have one of three different
pedal clamps. The instructions below are for pedal
clamp number 9329. See the preceding two pages if
your 9700 has a different pedal clamp.
7. Pull the hairpin clip (Figure 12) out, then lift the
slotted arm (Figure 12) up and out of the way.
8. Verify that the pedal clamp is right side up, as
shown in Figure 12 — the arrow on the sticker will
point “Up” when the pedal clamp is properly posi-
tioned.
9. Then, hold the air cylinder shaft and pull back
on the spring post (Figure 13), until the tabs under
the pedal clamp are wide enough to clear the brake
pedal.
10. Fit the pedal clamp onto the brake pedal, so that
all four tabs are hooked around it (Figure 14). Then,
release the spring post.
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 (Figure 14). If the tabs are loose, the pedal
clamp can rotate out of position and hold the
brake pedal down, even when the 9700 is not ac-
tivated, which will cause brake damage or other
consequential, non-warranty damage.
11. Swing the slotted arm back over the spring post,
fit the spring post through one of the slots, and reat-
tach the hairpin clip (Figure 14).
Note: the spring post may be bent slightly with
a pair of pliers, if necessary, in order to fit it through
one of the slots.
