This lets airpressure from inlet passage (10) go to outlet passage(6) and to air horns (3).C O M P O N E N T S O F T H E H O R N V A L VE1. Button. 4. Valve body. 5. Stem. 6. Outlet. 7.

The horns areOFF. Spring seat (8) holds spring (9) in the correctposition.ORIFICE CHECK VALVEThe orifice check valve is fastened directly to anelbow that is connected to the double check valve onthe brake control valve for the right pedal.When the brake control valve for the left pedal isactivated, air pressure moves valve (2) to the rightagainst the force of spring (3). Air is permitted toflow freely through notches on the outside diameterof valve (2). Some air will also go through the orifice.This flow of air is to the air cylinders.When the left pedal is released, the orifice causes arestriction to the flow of air from the air cylinders tothe brake control valve. This permits the transmis-sion to engage before the brakes are released.C O M P O N E N T S O F T H E O R I F I C E C H E C K V A L V E1. Seat. 2. Valve. 3.

An elbow,from the orifice check valve, is installed in inlet pas-sage (3).Shuttle (2) keeps air pressure from movement tothe right brake control valve, when the left brakecontrol valve is activated. When the right controlvalve is activated, shuttle (2) keeps air pressure frommovement to the left control valve, which wouldpermit the transmission to disengage.D O U B L E C H E C K V A L VE1 .
