Strange Lever

[Eric Johnson]

Hi Scott,
Stephen is right, it's the retarder lever. A great feature if you're doing any
mountain
driving. I used it a lot during our Colorado trip. Saves the brakes. Degree
of braking
performance increases going from notch 1 to 3. You want to use it in moderation
however
so you don't overheat the unit. It runs on DC and sucks quite a lot of juice.

I usually use setting 1 or 2 for maybe 10 to 15 seconds at a time, alternating
with the air
brakes to slow the coach down. Setting 3, I save for more rapid breaking. You
should
also have a yellow dash light that shows when the unit is on.

Regards, Eric
