Brake Pedal Assy: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTIONThe brake, clutch and accelerator pedals used in this vehicle are adjustable. All three pedals can be adjusted fore-and-aft four inches. Once the driver's seat has been adjusted to the correct driving position for the drivers upper body, the pedals can be adjusted to accommodate for differences in the length of the driver's leas.
An adjustment knob is located in the knee blocker panel below the steering column. The adjustment knob is connected to a series of cables going to the different pedals able to be adjusted.
OPERATION
The pedals are adjusted using a cable actuated eccentric cam which moves each pedal fore-and-aft when the pedal actuator knob is turned.
All 3 pedals are adjusted simultaneously. They are synchronized to adjust the same amount using a common actuator knob mounted in the knee blocker trim panel below the steering column. Clockwise rotation of the actuator knob moves the pedals toward the driver; counterclockwise rotation of the actuator knob moves the pedals away from the driver.
Each pedal and its eccentric cam is connected through linkage to a second lever controlling that pedals function.
