Strange Lever

[Scott]

Lots of great posts on the Jacobs Driveline retarder. (that is what is
on our coach 86FC) BUT no one mentioned the need to grease the bearings
inside. When we got ours you could not even tell it had a grease
fitting. Find it on the side of the retarder. Use a GOOD HIGH TEMP
GREASE. I grease mine pretty frequently.

I did the dummy thing last year on the way to RIV and left it one by
mistake when entering the highway, thought I was draging an anchor,
(actually felt like a fuel filter cloggin up) It got hot and smelled,
when shot with a temp gun it was just over 300* got back underway in a
hurry and got air to it. No harm works fine. I use it in stop and go
traffic, to limit the use of the service brakes. Works great for me.
