Subject: 

Every Automatic Slack Adjuster sold through the Aftermarket Division includes
BWS-582 Installation Instructions which contain important information regarding a retrofit
installation.  A copy of the instruction sheet was forwarded on Bulletin 05-1 and we
suggest that you retain and carefully review the procedures.

Of particular importance is the statement on page 2 which reads:

IMPORTANT:  The position of the adjusting crank and linkage (to the right or left
in Fig. #1) must not be changed in relation to the slack adjuster.  Altering the
position of this mechanism (from one side to another) will cause a malfunction.

Also, to insure proper operation, it is recommended that the Bendix Automatic Slack
Adjuster be used in retrofit installations only with chamber sizes of Type 16 or larger.

The Bendix “Sure Stroke” Automatic Slack Adjuster is a device with great sales potential
to the OE specification and retrofit market.  However, as with any new device, proper
installation is of prime importance.  If you have any questions regarding installation of
the “Sure Stroke”, please contact your Bendix HVSG representative.
