Default jet tronic single brake valve help

guys what am i doing wrong? i need my jetronic valve to be progressive, not like an on / off switch, the manual says to hold down button then switch on rx, this should toggle between progressive and on/off mode should it not??
thoughts please ?

Yep.

Tx on? Hold down, switch on Rx and hold for about 2 sec, release the button.
For your Hawk brakes you need a maximum of 80PSI and a big air tank as the PWM mode uses lots of air!

Yes. Tx on.

Yes, very powerful brakes that don't need a lot of pressure. I also greased the aluminium drum where the O ring acts to stop it grabbing and locking the wheels. As I keep saying our models with postage stamp size tyre contact don't need the wheels to lock, I set the pressure so at full brake you can just turn the wheels. This varies greatly with different brake types, my Jet 1A brakes only need 50 psi!
