PART 8: MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Clutch Adjustment

Any deviation from the Bendix AD-IS type air dryer would
require changes to the vehicle air system. Some vehicles
use a dual air system consisting of a wet tank, forward dry
tank, and rear dry tank. The dry tanks have a single-check
valve in the tank inlet. The check valves prevent a com-
plete loss of air in the event of an air system failure (tank or
hose failure). This ensures a controlled stop (with reduced
braking capability). Other vehicles use a Bendix AD-IS air
dryer which eliminates the need for a wet tank and check
valves in the dry tanks.

NOTE: A small amount of oil in the system may
be normal and should not, by itself, be considered
reason to replace a desiccant cartridge; oil-stained
desiccant can function adequately.

Every 900 operating hours or 30,000 miles/48,000 km or
3 months, check for moisture in the air brake system by
opening reservoirs, drain cocks, or valves and checking for
the presence of water. A tablespoon of water in a reservoir
would point to the need for a desiccant cartridge change.
However, the following should be considered

fi

rst:

• Air usage is exceptionally high/abnormal for a highway

vehicle. This may be due to accessory air demands or
some other unusual air requirement that doesn’t allow

the compressor to load/unload in a normal fashion or
it may be due to excessive leaks in the air system.

• When more than a 30-degree F (17-degree C) range

of temperature occurs in one day, small amounts of
water can accumulate in the air brake system due to
condensation. Under these conditions, the presence
of small amounts of moisture is normal and should not
be considered as an indication that the dryer is not
performing properly.

• An outside air source may have been used to charge

the air system, in which case this air did not pass
through the drying bed.

Transmission And Drive Train

Clutch Adjustment

Clutch pedal free travel is usually 1 3/4 in. to 2 in. (34 to 51
mm). This should be your guide for determining whether
your truck needs clutch adjustment. Some vehicles have
automatic clutch adjustment. If yours doesn’t have this fea-
ture, adjustment will have to be done by a trained certi

fi

ed

mechanic. Have the adjustment done before clutch pedal
free travel is reduced to the minimum allowable 1/2 in. (13
mm).
