Axles, Tires, and Brakes / 3-3
BEFORE PLACING VEHICLE IN SERVICE
The proper chart must be referenced based upon the brake type on each axle:
Brake chamber size is stamped on the components themselves. Slack adjuster length can be determined directly
by measuring between the camshaft center and the large clevis pin. Any modification to the brakes to balance the
system by reducing brake power must be accompanied by a revision to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) information decal (contact Pierce Customer Service for revised tags).
