This document provides instructions for installing a proportioning valve kit for vehicle brakes. The kit includes a proportioning valve, pre-bent lines, brake light wiring harness, mounting bracket, hardware, and cutaway diagram. It describes plugging the lines into the proportioning valve according to the diagram and warns that brakes must be properly tested before driving. It outlines a test procedure to check that the proportioning valve is operating correctly using a test light and bleeding both front and rear brakes simultaneously.

Any brake service should 1 Mounting bracket be performed ONLY by persons 2 5/16-18 bolts experienced in the installation and 2 washers-flat proper operation of brake systems. 2 washers-split locking It is the responsibility of the person installing any brake component or kit to determine the suitability of the 1/2"-20 7/16"-24 component or kit for the particular 3/8"-24 application. DO NOT DRIVE WITH UNTESTED BRAKES!

The most common proportioning valve plumbing is shown. An alternative plumbing method is to plug off the top front line and have the bottom front line go to a “T” fitting. From the “T” fitting, the front lines are then 3/8"-24 631302 cutaway Shown split off to the left and right calipers.
Note: AFTER INSTALLATION REFER TO MASTER CYLINDER MANUFACTURER INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER BLEEDING
TESTING THE PROPORTIONING VALVE for proper operation:
1. Use a test light by attaching a clip to a positive contact on the vehicle and touch the point of the tester to the electrical connection of the combination valve. If the light does not come on, the valve system is operating correctly and no further testing is required. 2. If the light does come on, this indicates that the pressure differential valve is stuck in the front or rear position. 3. Bleed the brake system to determine if the front or rear lines are blocked off. Set up one front wheel and one rear wheel for bleeding at the same time. Crack both bleeder screws and gently pump the pedal a few times. The blocked side will trickle fluid out when the bleeder screw is cracked and the pedal pressed. An unblocked line will squirt fluid out the bleeder. 4. The lines that are clear must be left open and the blocked lines should have the bleeder screws tight to cause pressure to build up on that side. Be sure to use the standard bleeding procedures to prevent air from entering the system. 5. Slowly press the pedal with steady pressure a number of times until the light goes out; this will center the differential valve. You may also hear a pop come from the proportioning valve. This is the metering valve returning to its equalized position. When the light goes out, close the bleeder screw.
