Air Chamber Stroke Indication
Air chamber push rods have orange stroke indicator markers that warn
when the braking system requires adjustment or repair. The painted
orange indicator is on the air chamber push rod at the slack adjuster
stroke dimension that requires service when visible during brake
application.
A qualified service technician should perform air brake inspection and
adjustment or repairs keeping to the instructions in the service manual.
Cam Brakes - Automatic Slack Adjusters
WARNING: Do not manually adjust the automatic slack adjusters
to correct excessive push rod stroke as it may result in reduced
brake effectiveness and a vehicle crash. Excessive push rod stroke
indicates that a problem exists with the automatic adjuster, with the
installation of the adjuster, or with foundation brake components that
manual adjustment does not remedy. Seek service from a qualified
facility for excessive push rod stroke.
Emergency Air Brake
WARNING: Do not continue to operate the vehicle with a failure
of one of the brake systems. Take the vehicle to your dealer for
service immediately.
All vehicles are equipped with a dual brake system. In the unlikely event
of a failure of one system, the second system functions for emergency
stopping. The brake pedal controls all these systems in the same manner
as for normal stops.
