OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Malfunction in the ABS is signaled by illumination of the
ABS warning lamp located at the left rear side of the
semitrailer. The warning lamp will come on and stay on
while power is supplied to the ABS on a moving vehicle, if
there is a fault. If a fault in the ABS exists, normal braking
will still occur, but wheels may lock. The semitrailer is still
operable, but the system should be serviced as soon as
possible.
CAUTION
Refer to ABS maintenance manual supplied with
semitrailer to answer basic questions for the anti-lock
brake system, obtain outline procedures on how to
adjust, test, remove, and install ABS components, as well
as how to test for faults in the system by using “Blink
Code Diagnostics”; and illustrates ABS components,
wiring, and plumbing installation diagrams.
Cold Weather Operation
1.
Cold weather causes lubricants to congeal, insulation
and rubber parts to become hard, which may lead to
problems found in bearings, electrical systems, and
air systems. Moisture attracted by warm parts can
condense, collect and freeze to immobilize
equipment. The truck/trailer operator must always be
alert for indicators of cold weather malfunctions.
2.
During any extended stop period, neither the service
nor parking brake should be used as they can freeze
up. Use wheel chocks to secure the vehicle from
moving.
3.
Check all structural fasteners, air system fittings,
gaskets, seals and bearings for looseness that can
develop due to contraction with cold. Do not
over-tighten.
4.
Check tire inflation. Tire inflation decreases when the
temperature decreases.
5.
Periodically check drain holes in the bottom of the
relay valve (for trailers with air brakes) and storage
compartments. They must be open at all times to
avoid moisture entrapment.
Hot Weather Operation
1.
Hot weather operation can cause expansion of parts,
resulting in tightening of bearings, fasteners, and
moving parts. Failure of gaskets or seals can occur.
2.
The trailer should be parked in the shade if possible.
Long exposure to the sun will shorten service life of
rubber components (i.e., tires, light and hose
grommets, hoses, etc.) and paint life.
3.
Check tire pressure early in the day before beginning
operations while the tire is cool. Put all valve stem
caps back on after checking.
4.
If the area is extremely humid, protect electrical
terminals with ignition insulation spray. Coat paint
and bare metal surfaces with an appropriate
protective sealer.
5.
For trailers with air brakes, the use of a
filter-lubricator in the towing vehicle’s air delivery
system is recommended.
If a fault exists in the semitrailer ABS, normal
braking will occur, but wheels may lock. Service
the ABS as soon as possible.
