Cold Weather Operation

1. Cold weather causes lubricants to congeal, insulation
and rubber parts to become hard, which may lead to
problems found in bearings, electrical systems, and
air systems. Moisture attracted by warm parts can
condense, collect and freeze to immobilize
equipment. The truck/trailer operator must always be
alert for indicators of cold weather malfunctions.
2. During any extended stop period, neither the service
nor parking brake should be used as they can freeze
up. Use wheel chocks to secure the vehicle from
moving.
3. Check all structural fasteners, air system fittings,
gaskets, seals and bearings for looseness that can
develop due to contraction with cold. Do not
over-tighten.
4. Check tire inflation. Tire inflation decreases when the
temperature decreases.
5. Periodically check drain holes in the bottom of the
relay valve (for trailers with air brakes) and storage
compartments. They must be open at all times to
avoid moisture entrapment.
