Strange Lever

[Wilhelmus Schreurs]

Reading on the Thelma retarder site, it is designed so the heat will disipate
even with extended or prolonged usage.
I believe we have the Jacob's brake system, not the Thelma, but they work on
the same principle, sure look identical as well.
Maintenance is very simple too, blow it out or wash it with a pressure washer,
grease lightly, check contacts and connections, especially the ground
connections.
Thelma only has a UK site.
One thing I will be looking into the future is, getting rid of the contactors
and going electronically, that will also give me infinite control instead of
just 3 steps.

Regarding my remarks on overheating the retarder, I remember reading
somewhere that
extended use could cause damage from overheating and have heard same from a
mechanic but don't have any absolute numbers so I just use it with some
moderation as I
described. If anyone has more specific info it would be good to get it.

Interesting to learn that only some of us are retarded!!!
