EXTERNAL DOCK LOCK (EDL) INSTALLATION

continued

Adjust clevis and jam nut on
push rod so clevis mounting hole
is 1/2˝ (13mm) short of cam
mounting hole to cause tension
on actuator return spring

IMPORTANT:

Flipper Plate must be completely down when

attaching actuator push rod.

3. Pull actuator push rod out (arrow A) so the hole in the cam aligns

with the clevis hole (this creates tension on the actuator spring to help

keep the flipper plate completely down). Install clevis pin and secure

with cotter pin (FIGURE 8).

IMPORTANT:

Adjust the push rod length to assure flipper plate

is completely down (FIGURE 6).

IMPORTANT:

EDL Rod/Flipper Plate Assembly should rotate

freely without binding after attaching actuator

push rod (FIGURE 6).

Air System Connection

1. The control for releasing the EDL is the same for releasing the

emergency brakes on the trailer. Locate a trailer supply line (usually

red) at the point it enters the spring brake valve (supply port).

2. Replace straight connector fitting with a tee and reconnect the

supply line and add a length of plastic line for connection to the

actuator chamber (FIGURE 9) and the line that you will install which

connects the cylinder port of the pilot valve to the bottom port of

the sensor valve (FIGURE 10).

3. At the threaded end of the 1/4 N.P.T. tube fitting insert the choke

valve (supplied) and install fitting to actuator. Attach the supply line

from the brake valve to a 1/4 N.P.T. tube fitting (FIGURE 9).

NOTE:

It may be necessary to use a vise to press choke valve

into tube fitting or use a hammer and gently tap choke

valve into tube fitting.

4. Insert the 1/4 N.P.T. tube fitting into the brake actuator inlet port

(FIGURE 9).

NOTE:

Choke valve should be flush with bottom of

the fitting.

5. From the pressure protection valve, run a line to the bottom port of

the primary height control valve (FIGURE 12).

6. Connect the top port of the primary height control valve to the

center port of the sensor valve (FIGURE 11).

7. The center ports of the primary height control valve and sensor

valve are connected to the air springs (FIGURE 11).

8. The pilot port of the pilot valve is connected to the emergency line

(FIGURE 12). Secure all supply lines and check for air leaks.

IMPORTANT:

It is the responsibility of the air system installer

to secure all air lines and check for any air leaks.

If air leaks are detected, repair as required.

Failure to eliminate the air leaks may compromise

the suspension performance.
