Manual Control Lever
This hand-operated control lever provides modulated
application of the BrakeSaver in the manual or ON mode
(see next illustration). How much braking you get depends
on how much you move the lever.
With the switch in the AUTOMATIC position, the Brake-
Saver will be fully applied automatically when the operator
has the vehicle in gear and takes his or her foot off the
accelerator pedal.
With the switch in the ON position, the BrakeSaver will be
applied constantly, regardless of whether the operator has
the vehicle in gear or his or her foot off the accelerator.
A Control Air Pressure gauge and an Engine Oil Temperature
gauge are provided with the BrakeSaver.
