7. Pullthehairpinclip(Figure6)out,thenlifttheslot-
tedarm(Figure6)upandoutoftheway.
8. Verifythatthepedalclampisrightsideup,asshown
in Figure 6 — the arrow on the sticker will point “Up”
whenthepedalclampisproperlypositioned.
9. Then,holdtheclevis(Figure7)andpullbackonthe
spring post (Figure 7), 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 8). 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 pedal
clamp on the initial fitting. Verify that all four tabs are
hooked around and under the brake pedal. If necessary,
bend the tabs to fit, as described above.
Make certain that all four tabs on the pedal clamp
are securely hooked around the brake pedal. If the
tabs are loose, the pedal clamp can rotate out of
position and hold the brake pedal down, even when
AddaBRAKE is not activated, which will cause brake
damage or other consequential, non-warranty dam-
age.
11. Swingtheslottedarmbackoverthespringpost,fit
thespringpostthroughoneoftheslots,andreattach
thehairpinclip(Figure8).
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.

1. Nowthatthepedalclampisinplace,moveAdd-
aBRAKEforward,untiltheaircylindershaftisfullyre-
tracted (Figure 9). Make certain that AddaBRAKE is
notdepressingthetowedvehicle’sbrakepedal.
Do not move AddaBRAKE too far forward, to the

extent that the pedal clamp is depressing the brake
pedal. If the brake pedal is depressed, the brakes
will be applied continuously, which will cause se-
vere tire and/or brake system damage, as well as
other consequential, non-warranty damage.
Failure to follow these instructions may cause
property damage, personal injury or even death.
