Description
Technical requirements
Instruments, tools,
fixtures and materials
needed
Check and tighten up,
if need be, fasteners of the
towing unit to the cross
-
member
Fastenings should be
tight
Wrenches 17x19, 22x24
Check the walking
beam for axial displacement
and adjust, if need be (see
Sub-section
“Running
Gear. Truck Suspension")
Axial displacement is
not allowable
Wrenches 10x12, 14x17,
17x19, driftpin, hammer
Braking System
Check operation of
the braking system fault
alarm (see Section "Air
-
Over Hydraulic Control of
Service Brake System")
Alarm should be in
good working order
Box
wrench
17x19,
pliers, screwdriver, pilot
lamp on the dashboard
Check outlet pres-
sure on both sections of
the brake valve and func-
tioning of the triple pro-
tection valve (see Section
"Air
-
Over Hydraulic Con-
trol of Service Brake Sys-
tem")
Air pressure indicated
by test gauges must be
equal to that in the system
(as indicated by two
-
pointer
pressure gauge)
Wrench 11x13, test
pressure gauges
Check functioning
of the single protection
valve (see Section "Air
-
Over Hydraulic Control
of Service Brake System")
Air should flow to air
bottle of trailer brakes as the
pressure in the other
bottles rises to 550 kPa
(5.5 kgf/cm
2
)
Wrench 17x19, test
pressure gauges
Check pressure on
the coupling head of
single
-
line control (black)
(see Section "Air
-
Over
Hydraulic Control of Ser-
vice Brake System")
The test pressure gauge
should indicate 480-530 kPa
(4.8-5.3 kgf/cm
2
). When
applying service or parking
brake, the test gauge should
indicate 0
Test pressure gauge
Check pressure on
the coupling feeding head
of
single
-
line
control
(blue) (see section "Air
-
Over Hydraulic Control of
Service Brake System")
The test pressure gauge
should indicate 0. When ap-
plying service or par-king
brake, the test gauge should
indicate pressure available
in system
Ditto
Check brake pedal
for free stroke, adjust, if
need be (see Section "Air-
Over Hydraulic Control of
Service Brake System")
Pedal
free
stroke
should be within 20-30mm
Wrenches 17x19, 22x24,
screwdriver, pliers
Check operation of
the braking force regulator
(see Section "Air-Over
Hydraulic Control of
Service Brake System")
Pressure indication on
test pressure gauges should
correspond to amounts in-
dicated in the table of the
braking force regulator
Wrench 17x19, test
pressure gauge
