Brake System Maintenance
WARNING
General
A daily general inspection will reveal the most common
problems found in the spring brake system. This
inspection should include the following:
1. Check air hoses for chafing, bends, kinks, or
damaged fittings. Replace defective hoses.
2. Check the brake system for loose, missing,
deformed, or corroded fasteners. Replace and
tighten defective hardware.
3. Check brake linings for excessive wear or distortion.
4. Drain air reservoir daily. A drain cock on the bottom
of each air reservoir vents the tank to drain collected
water and oil. If held open, air pressure in the tanks is
relieved, causing the emergency or parking brakes to
be applied
(See Figure 4-10.)

Spring Air Brake Chambers
Check for faulty units. Check the condensation holes on
the underside of the brake chambers to make sure they
are open. The spring brake has two brake chambers, a
service chamber and an emergency chamber or spring
chamber. Service brake chambers should be
disassembled and cleaned per interval described in
Table 4-2.
The diaphragm and any marginal parts should
be replaced. When replacing the service diaphragm,
replace the corresponding parts for the other chamber on
the same axle (to aid in even brake application and
release). Examine yoke pin for wear and replace as
necessary. The spring chamber should not be serviced.
Replace entire unit (both service and spring chamber) if
spring chamber becomes faulty.
WARNING
Caging the Power Spring
1. Chock the trailer wheels.
2. Remove dust cap from spring brake chamber.
3. Remove the release bolt from its holding brackets
and insert it into the spring brake chamber. DO NOT
USE AN IMPACT WRENCH TO CAGE THE SPRING
BRAKE.
4. Turn the bolt until the spring brake is caged. This
should be 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 inches of release bolt
extension.
5. The brakes should now be totally released. Do not
operate loaded trailer with brake manually released.
6. To reset the spring brake, turn the release bolt until
the spring is released. Remove the release bolt and
store it in its brackets.
7. Snap the dust cap back in place on the chamber.
1. When crawling under the semitrailer is
necessary, chock all wheels of the trailer and
tractor. When jacking is necessary, chock all
wheels and support the semitrailer
undercarriage with jack stands sufficient to
withstand the weight of the semitrailer and
load. Failure to take adequate safety
measures may result in serious personal
injury or death.
2. Use great care if wheels or brake drums must
be handled. They may be very hot and can
cause serious burns.
