NeverEasy Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Volvo? Gen I or II? On a Gen I, if you tapped into the air line that goes to the brake light switch you should be good.

I hope you’re mending well. Was working on a motel hanging doors when my knee gave out. There was about 50 construction workers working on it scattered threw out the building. So you didn't know what was coming around the corner at you . So these guys would wear there mask and get threw screening and temp checks .Then get inside the building out of site of superintendent and take them off . Needless to say coved was in the building. I guess it was good luck for me that my knee gave out when it did It got me out of there before i came down with it .Now i have a new knee and it is getting better each day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeverEasy Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 I don't have a Gen II but it sounds pretty straight forward. Locate the gage on the dash that shows air pressure when you mash the brake pedal and also shows pressure when you pull the hand trolly. Find the air line on the back of that gage. Cut it and insert the T in that line.

Feed into the supply port of the Hayes. The Hayes will see pressure from the foot treadle, and the spike.
