AIR RESERVOIRS
The four air reservoirs are located in a ceiling
compartment in the front section of the coach.
There are two tanks, each partitioned into two
separate reservoirs, providing four separate reser-
voirs. Figure 6-1 shows the air line connections to
the reservoirs.
The air reservoirs also serve to cool the air and
condense water and oil vapors out of the com-
pressed air. Most of this condensation takes place
in the air dryer and the wet supply reservoir. All
reservoirs, however, should be drained daily. Drain
valves are located inside the battery compartment
door at the front, driver’s side of the coach (see
Figure 6-16). In most cases, a small spring-loaded
access door to the drain valves is provided. Drain
the reservoirs completely by slowly opening the
drain cock on each tank. Leave the drain cocks
open until the air is exhausted from the reservoir
and all drainage has stopped.
All reservoir mounting bolts should be checked for
tightness during regular periodic inspection and
tightened as needed. The reservoirs
may be cleaned inside and out
using steam or hot water. Inspect
for corrosion or other damage and
replace any reservoir which is not
in good condition.
