USING THE PARKING BRAKE (2) Trailer Air Supply Control (Red) (1) Parking Brake Control (Yellow) STARTING AND OPERATING THE VEHICLE To release the trailer brakes ONLY: • Push IN the Red knob on the dash. The truck or tractor will remain parked. Combination (Tractor/Trailer) Parking Brake Control Valves The parking brakes act on the rear wheels only. They are spring-applied, with air pressure used to release them. Release air is supplied by both the front and rear circuit reservoirs through a double check valve. To release the truck or tractor parking brakes ONLY: 02394 • Push IN the Yellow knob on the dash. Your trailer will remain parked. Below 60 psi (414 kPa) the Yellow parking brake valve remains OUT (ON position). If air pressure is not restored above 60 psi (414 kPa), the knob will automatically return to the OUT position if you attempt to push it in. See page 42 for more information. To release the full combination of brakes: • Push IN BOTH knobs on the dash. • In the event that air pressure is reduced below a safe level: the low air warning light will come on first; if air pressure continues to drop, the parking brake valve will pop OUT, automatically applying the spring brakes. CAUTION: Do not try to put the vehicle in motion before pressure in the system reaches 100 psi (689 kPa) because the wheels are locked by the spring brake action. •Unnecessary stress and possible brake malfunction could occur if the vehicle is forced to move before the air system reaches 100 psi (689 kPa). •Below 60 psi (414 kPa) the parking brake valve button remains in the applied (ON) position. If air pressure is not restored, the button will automatically return to its initial position. – 104 – Y53-6033 Regional Haul (R05/10)
STARTING AND OPERATING THE VEHICLE WARNING! If the air pressure falls below 60 psi (414 kPa) the spring brakes may stop the vehicle abruptly, which could result in an accident involving death or personal injuries. Observe the red warning lamps on the gauges. If one comes on, do not continue to drive the vehicle until it has been properly repaired or serviced. WARNING! Do not use the trailer hand brake or service brakes to park and hold an unattended vehicle—use the parking brakes. Because service brakes work with air pressure, these brakes could slowly release. Your vehicle could roll, causing a serious accident. Someone could be hurt or killed. Never rely on the service brakes to hold a parked vehicle. Tractor and Trailer Air Supply Valve Initial Charge The red octagon knob controls the air supply to the trailer. With the system completely discharged, both the Red (trailer air supply) and the Yellow (parking brake) knobs are OUT; thus, tractor and the trailer parking (spring) brakes are applied. TRACTOR AND TRAILER AIR SUPPLY VALVE To supply air to the trailer system and release the trailer parking brakes: 1. Allow the tractor air system pressure to build up to operating level. 2. When system pressure reaches 50 psi (345 kPa) the Red knob may be pushed IN. 3. Hold the Red knob IN by hand until the trailer air pressure builds to a pre-set level, about 45 psi. At this point it will remain in, charging the trailer system and releasing only the trailer brakes. 4. The Yellow knob will remain OUT (tractor brakes ON). Normal Run Position • The Yellow knob (system park) may now be pushed IN, which will supply air to the tractor spring brakes, releasing them. • With both knobs pushed IN, air is now being supplied to both the trailer and the tractor spring brakes; all brakes are released.

STARTING AND OPERATING THE VEHICLE<br />
WARNING! If the air pressure falls below 60<br />
psi (414 kPa) the spring brakes may stop the<br />
vehicle abruptly, which could result in an<br />
accident involving death or personal injuries.<br />
Observe the red warning lamps on the<br />
gauges. If one comes on, do not continue to<br />
drive the vehicle until it has been properly<br />
repaired or serviced.<br />
WARNING! Do not use the trailer hand brake<br />
or service brakes to park and hold an unattended<br />
vehicle—use the parking brakes.<br />
Because service brakes work with air pressure,<br />
these brakes could slowly release. Your<br />
vehicle could roll, causing a serious accident.<br />
Someone could be hurt or killed. Never<br />
rely on the service brakes to hold a parked<br />
vehicle.<br />
Tractor and Trailer Air Supply Valve<br />
Initial Charge<br />
The red octagon knob controls the air supply to the trailer.<br />
With the system completely discharged, both the Red<br />
(trailer air supply) and the Yellow (parking brake) knobs<br />
are OUT; thus, tractor and the trailer parking (spring)<br />
brakes are applied.<br />
TRACTOR AND TRAILER AIR SUPPLY VALVE<br />
To supply air to the trailer system and release the trailer<br />
parking brakes:<br />
1. Allow the tractor air system pressure to build up to<br />
operating level.<br />
2. When system pressure reaches 50 psi (345 kPa) the<br />
Red knob may be pushed IN.<br />
3. Hold the Red knob IN by hand until the trailer air pressure<br />
builds to a pre-set level, about 45 psi. At this<br />
point it will remain in, charging the trailer system and<br />
releasing only the trailer brakes.<br />
4. The Yellow knob will remain OUT (tractor brakes ON).<br />
Normal Run Position<br />
• The Yellow knob (system park) may now be pushed<br />
IN, which will supply air to the tractor spring brakes,<br />
releasing them.<br />
• With both knobs pushed IN, air is now being supplied<br />
to both the trailer and the tractor spring brakes; all<br />
brakes are released.<br />
