Preventive Maintenance
Braking System
DANGER
NEVER release a vehicle that has a
defect in the brake system – no matter
how minor the defect. Failure to repair
brake system discrepancies can result
in compromised brake efficiency leading
to loss of control, resulting in severe
personal injury or death.
Air Lines and Hoses
• Inspect all air lines and hoses for routing,
secure clamping, chafing, cracks and
evidence of air leaks.
• Inspect air brake hoses for cracks or
damage.
• Inspect all air fittings to ensure that they are
tight.
• Check all valves for secure mounting and
listen for audible air leaks.
WARNING
Before beginning any service work on
any part of the air system, be certain
that the air pressure has been released.
Failure to do so may cause a component
to violently separate, which can result in
serious personal injury.
Air Dryer
• “D” inspection or annually: Change
desiccant cartridge.
Note: Desiccant may require more frequent
service in humid climate operation.
• Check mounting, wiring and connections.
• Check operation per equipment
manufacturer’s recommendation.
• Check heater element, if equipped. Refer
to manufacturer’s recommendation for
inspection procedures.
Air Reservoirs
WARNING
When draining the air tanks, do not look
into the area of the escaping air. Dirt or
sludge particles may be expelled and
cause eye injury.
• Open petcocks or pull drain cables on air
reservoirs to drain-off moisture If excessive
oil or water comes from the tank, make a
note on the inspection form for follow-up
(Figure 12).
Note: As shown in Figure 12, some tanks
may be equipped with remote drains.
Figure 12
Dual Air Brake System
• Apply full air brake pressure to the air brake
system and verify there is no more than two
psi (20 kPa) pressure loss per minute.
• Charge both A and B air systems.
• Drain the air tank for the A system.
• Apply the brakes. Ensure that there is an
application of the slack adjusters for the
front brakes.
• Charge both A and B air systems again.
• Drain the air tank for the B system.
• Verify gauge reading.
