Release of Fail-Safe Brakes
NOTE
On M970 and M970A1, brakes will not
release unless hose reel cabinet is closed.
a.
Reserve Air Release.
If semitrailer is to be moved by
other than a towing vehicle, push brake release plunger on
roadside of semitrailer to release fail-safe brakes
(fig. 2-4). Air in the front reservoir allows the brakes to
release twice. When pressure falls under 55 pounds, the
air reservoir must be recharged either by connecting air
lines to tractor or by using a standard air hose and filling
reservoir through filler valve (fig. 2-4). When filling
through filler valve, only front (secondary) reservoir is
filled. Fill to air gage reading of 90-100 psi. A standard tire
gage can be used to check the pressure.
b.
Manual Release (Caging) (M967, M969, and M970
except M970 SN TC-0843, TC-0844, and TC-103 thru TC-
178) (Fig. 2-5). To manually release the fail-safe brakes when
no air is available, use the following procedure:
(1) Block
wheels to prevent
semitrailer
movement.
