VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH FRONT BRAKE MANUAL LIMIT VALVES AND REAR BRAKE BOBTAIL PROPORTIONING WILL EXPERIENCE REDUCED BRAKING IF THE LIMIT VALVE IS IN THE "SLIPPERY ROAD" (REDUCED PRESSURE) POSITION WHEN OPERATING IN BOBTAIL MODE. CORRECTION: THE FRONT AXLE RATIO VALVES ARE TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED BY STANDARD VALVLING WHICH DOES NOT REDUCE APPLICATION PRESSURE.
