Handle - Tractor Protection Control Valve
Bendix

The handle assembly for the tractor protection control valve provides essential manual control for safeguarding the tractor’s air brake system. This component enables operators to manually actuate or reset the protection valve, enhancing safety during coupling, pre-trip checks, and emergency procedures. The design supports reliable operation under typical vehicle vibrations and environmental conditions encountered in fleet service, contributing to consistent valve response and improved control during critical maneuvers. Classified under VMRS 013-003-004, it aligns with standard tractor protection valve interfaces and mounting schemes, promoting straightforward replacement and compatibility with existing valve bodies and linkages. Cross references are not listed, but this handle is expected to integrate with standard Bendix protection valve assemblies and associated hardware. Prop 65 guidance applies; proper handling and installation practices should be followed to ensure safety and long service life in daily operation.
