Brake system

The brake system consists of brake chambers, slack adjusters,
S-cams, and shoes or pads. During service braking, the brake
chambers convert air pressure to mechanical force through the
slack adjusters and camshafts to apply the brakes using the
brake shoes or pads.

WARNING
• Do not disassemble or repair a brake chamber. Doing so may
result in property damage, serious injury, or death due to the
accidental sudden release of a high-energy spring.
• Before entering traffic, check the trailer brake operation to ensure
they work properly. Also, operate the foot pedal, dash control
valves, and hand valve to verify that the brakes are applied and
released each time. Always be alert for air leaks during each type
of brake application.
