Air System
When servicing air system components, the following general precautions
should be observed:
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking brakes, and
always block the wheels.
2. Stop the engine when working around the vehicle.
3. Make certain to drain the air pressure from all reservoirs before
beginning any work on the vehicle.
4. Follow the “Welding Precautions” procedures given in the General
Information chapter of this manual to deactivate the electrical sys-
tem in a manner that removes all electrical power from the vehicle.
5. When working in the engine compartment the engine should be shut
off. Where circumstances require that the engine be in operation,
extreme caution should be used to prevent personal injury resulting
from contact with moving, rotating, leaking, heated, or electrically
charged components.
6. Never connect or disconnect a hose or line containing pressure; it
may whip. Never remove a component or plug unless you are certain
all system pressure has been depleted.
7. Never exceed recommended pressures and always wear safety
glasses.
8. Do not attempt to install, remove, disassemble or assemble a com-
ponent until you have read and thoroughly understand the recom-
mended procedures. Use only the proper tools and observe all pre-
cautions pertaining to use of those tools.
9. Use only Gillig approved replacement parts, components, and kits.
Replacement hardware, tubing, hose, fittings, etc. should be of equiv-
alent size, type, and strength as original equipment and be designed
specifically for such applications and systems.
10. Components with stripped threads or damaged parts should be re-
placed rather than repaired.
