Procedure

  1. Install the Pacbrake switch and bracket assembly in the location shown, using the existing mounting bolt.
  2. Select the appropriate threaded hole in the face of Caterpillar's position sensor and mount the actuating arm with the spacer and two shake-proof washers.
  3. With the sensor in the idle position, set the actuating arm so the switch is in the closed 'clicked' position and lock the 1/4-20 capscrew; torque to 125 lb.in (14.2 N.m).
  4. Operate the throttle to ensure the switch is actuated each time the throttle returns to idle and no interference exists.
