air Systems
The air systems consist of service and emergency
gladhands, plumbing, reservoirs, and brake and
suspension valves. Regular inspection of the
systems is vital to the safe operation of the vehicle.
One of the most important preventive maintenance
practices for operators is the routine draining of
all air reservoirs and inspecting for contaminants.
Care must be taken to ensure foreign matter does
not enter the trailer’s air systems through the front
gladhands, either from the tractor or open, exposed
gladhands. It is recommended that all tractors be
equipped with air dryers.
CAUTION:
Follow the guidelines below to avoid potentially
hazardous situations.
• Constantly monitor tractor air gauges for
indications of unusual air consumption.
• Routinely clean gladhand screens and open
reservoir petcocks to drain moisture from the
tractor and trailer reservoirs.
• Never operate the trailer until air gauges indicate
the system is fully charged and stabilized.
