Operation
The pivot incorporates a cam that actuates a pneumatic 3/2 or 5/2 valve. This signal is used to apply the vehicle brakes that prevent the vehicle moving when hoses are connected.
The signal is also used for other purposes such as opening vents and preventing access to the overfill protection plug.
