BRAKE SYSTEM  

Brake System Maintenance 

58. Precautions. 

 

Some assemblies contain powerful springs and injury can result if they are not 
properly disassembled. Use only proper tools and observe all precautions 
relevant to the use of the tools. 

 

Always chock vehicle wheels. Stop the engine when working under a vehicle 
liable to roll. Keep hands away from chamber push rods and slack adjusters; 
they may apply as system pressure drops. 

 

Never connect or disconnect a hose or line containing air pressure. It may whip 
as air escapes. Never remove a component or pipe plug unless you are certain 
all system pressure has been depleted. 

 

Never exceed recommended air pressure and always wear safety glasses when 
working with air pressure. Never look into air jets or direct them at anyone. 

 

Never attempt to disassemble an assembly until you have read and understand 
the recommended procedures. 

Brake Relay Valves 

59. Removal.

  Remove the relay valves as follows: 

NOTE 

This procedure applies to both the R-12 brake relay valve and the R-12H pilot relay 
valve.
