VegasFlyer Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Can anyone who owns a Gen 2 Volvo that has a factory installed Trailer Brake Hand Valve (Johnson Bar), tell me where the supply and application lines are actually connected or spliced into the system? I am trying to help someone install a hand valve and the manual does not refer to the physical location to locate the T fittings. We are assuming that the exhaust line is ported outside of the cab.

rdickinson Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 I asked the same question a month or two ago. As I recall a diagram or link to one was posted. Next week I'm off on another walkabout and plan to go to Kamloops Volvo for a shifter switchout and will ask them to plumb the hand lever in.

VegasFlyer Posted August 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Thanks Roger, It doesn't appear to be a major undertaking, though it would be good to use the same locations that the factory used.

SunJuniper Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 i got the service manual that covers all that...

VegasFlyer Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Thanks Lou, Scott (MrSeas), just sent me the pdf. I had a similar section of the manual but it did not have the air line layout. I will scour the schematics and see if we can decipher this. A quick look shows a couple ways to plumb the valve depending on the number of ports on the Park Valve. We need to determine if there will be any other routing or switching of lines outside of the cab.

John i believe you add a T off one of the airlines behind the park brake valve. i sent scott the PDF. sometimes there schematics are hard to understand. ill see if i can scrounge up anything better for you.

VegasFlyer Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 As a side note, does anyone have any alternate sources for Gen 2 VN Manuals, other than the Volvo site? I have gotten several from the site, though it appears a lot are missing.

Well since Volvo offers a lot of their manuals online for free, I wonder if anyone would have heartburn if we set something up to share them?

rdickinson Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 I'd like to get this hand controller plumbed in on mine when it goes into Kamloops Volvo for the new shifter. I'd sure appreciate a diagram or schematic re plumbing in the Max Brake so the stock trailer brake could be used. PDF would be fine, I'm a little better on the computer than Dave the Hammer.
