ABSTRACT:
A pedal carrier (14) is movably supported by the support (12) for adjustment between various operational positions. The support (12) includes a rod (16) and the pedal carrier (14) is slidably supported on the rod (16). The carrier (12) includes an arm (30) extending from the support (12) and a fitting defining a first end (26) of a conduit (24) is retained in an aperture in the arm (30). A pedal lever (20) includes an actuator portion (38) extending upwardly from a pivotal pin (22) and a first end (34) of a core element (32) is attached to the actuator portion (38). The pedal lever (20) also includes a pedal portion (40) extending downwardly from the pivotal pin (22) so that the pin (22) acts as a fulcrum in response to a pedal force applied to the pedal portion (40) to place the core element (32) in tension. A boot (46) is disposed between the conduit (24) and the bulkhead (52) through which the conduit passes to seal the conduit (24) to the bulkhead as the conduit (24) is allowed to move longitudinally relative to the bulkhead (52).
