Air Lines, Valves, and Fittings (Figs. 4-82
and 4-83)
General. The
general arrangement of the air
system on the semitrailers is shown in figures 4-82
and 4-83. Nylon tubing connects the gladhands on front of
semitrailer to the brake relay valve on rear air reservoir.
Clips fasten the tubing to the underside of the tank and to
the frame members. Grommets are installed to protect
the tubing where it passes through the frame and cross
members. Hoses and tubing connect the brake chambers
to the reservoirs and relay valve.
b.
Maintenance.
Visually inspect for damage to air
lines, loose clips, or missing grommets. Also check the
following:
(1) Brake hoses should be looped in a way that
prevents the hoses from hanging below the axle.
(2) Separators on
brake hoses should be
positioned to prevent brake hoses from rubbing against
axles or other brake hoses.
(3) Clips should be bent down securely on tubing.
c.
Replacement of Nylon Tubing.
(1) Block semitrailer wheels to prevent move-
ment.
(2) Exhaust air from system by opening drain
valves on bottom of air reservoirs.
