Q

AIR BRAKE CHECK

PROCEDURE

A
  1. Air Leakage Test (Seat Belt is Mandatory- close front door)
    *With the air pressure built up to the governor cutoff (120-140PSI), the engine will be SHUT OFF.
    *Release the parking brake. (This is a must or you will fail. Wait until the air pressure needles stop moving.)
    *Fully apply the foot brake. Hold the foot brake or 1 minute.
    *Check air gauge to see if the air pressure drops more than 3 PSI in 1 minute.
  2. Spring Brake Test (Parking brake valve)
    *ignition ON engine OFF. (wait until the air pressure needles stop moving)
    *Begin fanning/pumping the brake pedal until approximately 20-45 PSI. The Parking brake will pop-out.
  3. Low Warning Light Test
    *(start the engine and point to the low warning light)
    *The low warning light will come on at 80 PSI

(Remove chocks and build air pressure up to the governor cutoff 120-140PSI- reapply seatbelt.)

  1. Parking Brake Test-
    *with the parking brake set, put the gear selector into Drive.
    *Give one-quarter throttle and release
  2. Service Brake Test-
    *release parking brake and put gear selector into Drive
    *pull forward 5 mph and apply brakes firmly. The bus does not pull to either side and that it stops when brake is applied.
