ENGINE IDENTIFICATION:
Obtain the engines CPL number. Refer to the TecBrake
Application Chart which lists all Cummins engines on which
the T430A engine brake may be installed.

The engine CPL number determines which adjusting screws

are required for the installation. It is important that the proper
adjusting screws be selected and installed. Use of the wrong
screws or an incorrect lash adjustment may cause improper
brake operation and engine damage.
Refer to the application chart to determine which adjusting
screw should be installed in the brake housing.
ADJUSTING SCREWS INCLUDED IN KIT:
The T430A engine brake kit (Part No. 960008) is shipped
with adjusting screws (Part No. TB924922, color coded
black) already installed in the brake housings. This
configuration is correct for the most common installations.
Six additional adjusting screws (Part No. TB924921, color
coded beige) are included in the Attaching Parts Group
(Part Number TB940038). These adjusting screws may be
installed in place of the black adjusting screws when
specified by the application chart.
The two adjusting screw part numbers included in the engine
brake kit cover all engine configurations.
OPTIONAL FOOT SWITCH:
A foot switch may be used in place of the clutch switch. The
clutch switch is included in the brake kit. The foot switch is
not included and must be ordered separately.
