WARNING
Death or serious injury could occur if compressed air is directed against the skin. Always drain all air
tanks via the draincocks prior to maintaining the foot throttle valve.
NOTE
The foot throttle is mounted in the cab adjacent to the drivers feet. The valve mechanism is mounted
beneath the cab floor. It may be easier to remove the front left hand wheel and access the valve
from beneath the truck rather than from the cab (as outlined below). This will depend on the amount
of corrosion and dirt on the fittings and mounting hardware.

the foot throttle up through the cab floor.

to valve assembly. Be sure they are
connected to same ports as noted in step 2
