TECBRAKE MODELT430A ENGINE BRAKE

FOR CUMMINS NTC/88NT SERIES ENGINE

SECTION 1- INTRODUCTION

The TecBrakeT430A engine brake may be installed on

popular versions of the Cummins NTC/88NT series

engine.It can not be installed on earlier versions of the

Cummins NTC series engines, which use a different

cylinder head configuration. The TecBrake application

chart can be used to identify the engine model and

determine if the engine is approved for installation of an

engine brake.

The Model T430A engine brake will fit on NTC/88NT

enginesequippedwith eitherFixedTimingorStepTiming

Control(STC).EarlierSTC engineapplications required

that the rear brake housing be connected to the Step

TimingControlValve.Thisisnot requiredontheTecBrake

Model T430A.

NOTICE

TheTecBrake Engine Brake is designed as a device

for slowing a vehicle,not stopping it. It is to be used

in conjunction with, but not a substitute for the

vehicle’s service brakes. The service brakes must

be in good operating condition and used to bring

the vehicle to a complete stop.

Material Required

The TecBrake kit includes all of the parts required to

make an installation on the most common engine

configurations.

Prior to making installation, determine the engine CPL

number to verify that the engine brake being installed is

correctforthe engine.The CPLnumbercan befoundon

the engine identification plate that is located on the

engine gear case flange.

SECTION 2 - ENGINE PREPARATION

Figure 2-1

1. Thoroughly clean engine before beginning

installation. Remove all engine components necessary to

permit access to cylinder heads. Remove valve covers.

It is not necessary to remove the rocker lever housing

to install the ModelT430A engine brake.

Figure 2-2

2. Rotate engine crankshaft to proper position for making

adjustments to Injector, exhaust valve, and slave pistons

later on.

3. Turn crankshaft clockwise until the "A" mark on the

accessory drive pulley is aligned with pointer on the gear

case cover.

4 At this point, the intake and exhaust valves should be

closed for cylinder No. 5 and the rocker levers should be

"loose". The injector plunger for cylinder No. 3 must also

be at the top of it’s travel. If it is not, turn the crankshaft

another 360 degrees and realign the "A" mark with the

pointer.

5. After the engine brake is installed the engine will be in

position to begin setting the injector, exhaust valve and

slave piston adjusting screws.

Figure 2-3

7. Move the exhaust push tube to one side; rotate the

exhaust rocker lever to permit removal of Cummins

crosshead.

8. Install the new TecBrake crosshead. Note that it

comes with a new crosshead adjusting screw and nut.

Lubricate the crosshead and guide with oil before

installation.Make sure the crosshead adjusting screw is

on the exhaust manifold side of the engine.

9. Adjust the crosshead by holding it down against the

valve stem nearest the push tube, then turn in the

adjusting screw until it touches the valve stem.

10. Hold the adjusting screw in place and tighten the

locknut to 25 lbft (35N*m). Repeat operation for all

crossheads

6. Remove the rocker arm adjusting screws from the

exhaust rockerlevers.Retain theCumminslocknutsand

screws.

11. Remove the injector adjusting screws from injector

rockerarm.InstalltheTecBrakeinjector adjustingscrews

(hex head) furnished in kit. Reuse the Cummins

adjusting screw lock nuts.

CAUTION

The injector adjusting screw used in the TecBrake

Model T430A has a 5/8" hex head and height of 2".

Earlier model engine brakes used either a 5/8" or 7/

16" hex head and were 2.2" in height.These screws

are not interchangeable.Use of the wrong screw will

result in damage to the engine and brake.

SECTION 5- ELECTRICAL SYSTEM INSTALLATION

Installation of the electrical system involves the mounting

of dash switches, a clutch switch, and a fuel pump switch.

An optional foot switch may be installed in place of the

clutch switch.Wiring harnesses are provided in the kit to

completethe installation.Referto thewiring diagramFigure

5-8.

Dash Switches

Dash switches should be installed in dash where they are

visible and convenient to operate.

1. Drillholesin dashto accommodateswitches andinstall

switches with proper name plates.

Clutch Switch

Itis recommendedthatthe clutchswitchbemountedinside

the vehicle cab to protect it from road contamination.

Figure 5-1

1. Mount the clutch switch in a convenient location near

the clutch pedal so that movement of the clutch pedal will

contact the clutch switch actuator arm. See Figure 5-1.

2. Adjust the clutch switch so that the actuator arm is

deflectedfrom 1"to1.5" (25mmto 38mm)when theclutch

is in the up (clutch engaged) position.

3. Check the switch by depressing the clutch.The switch

should "click" to an open electrical position as soon as the

free play in the clutch is taken up. When the clutch is

released, the switch should "click" to a closed electrical

position.

Optional Foot Switch

An optional foot switch may be used in place of the clutch

switch.The foot switch should be mounted on the cab floor

to the left of the clutch pedal and should be located so that

it can be conveniently operated with the drivers left foot.

Slave Piston Adjustment

Adjustmentof theslave pistonadjustingscrew iscritical.

Properadjustment isnecessaryin orderto provide peak

braking efficiency without over stressing the engine.

Slave piston adjusting screw adjustment must be

made with the engine stopped and engine

temperature stabilized below 140 ºF

1. Set engine brake valve lash using the adjusting

screw located above each slave piston. The engine

crankshaft must be rotated to allow the exhaust valve to

be fully closed prior to making adjustment on each

cylinder.

2. Back out the adjusting screw on each cylinder to be

adjusted.Using a0.018"feelergauge between theslave

pistonandthe exhaustcrosshead,turnin the slavepiston

adjusting screw until a slight drag is felt on the gauge.

3. Tighten the adjusting screw lock nut to 25 lbft (35

N*m) torque. Rotate the crankshaft, adjusting each

adjusting screw in firing order sequence.

Operational Check

Installation of the brake housings is now complete.

Functioning of the brakes should be checked before

proceeding further.

1. Start the engine and let it idle for a short time.

CAUTION

Wear eye protection. When engine is running with

valve covers removed, oil splashing will occur.Take

precautions to prevent oil contaminating engine and

engine compartment.

Wiring

A universal wiring harness and other miscellaneous wiring

materials are included in the kit.

1. Install solenoid harness by connecting one end to the

solenoid valve and the other to the inside terminal in the

spacer assembly.

2. Install the remainder of the wiring following the

instructions included with the universal wiring harness and

wiring diagram shown in Figure 5-8.

3. All wiring should be routed to avoid areas of high heat

and mechanical interference where chaffing could occur.

4. Check system to determine if voltage is present at

terminals in engine brake spacer assembly.Voltage should

be present when engine is not running, with ignition on,

clutch disengaged, throttle in idle position, and all dash

switches in the “on”position.

5. While monitoring voltage at terminals in the engine

brake spacer, operate the switches to determine if they are

functioning properly. Depressing either the clutch or the

throttle pedal should cause the voltage to be interrupted.
