BRAKES
The features of the braking system include a
dual system where the front and rear circuits are
completely independent from each other. The
brakes are air operated disc type brakes with
automatic slack adjusters on front, drive and tag
axles The emergency/parking brakes are located
on the drive and tag axles only.

AIR SYSTEM
Compressed air is provided by a 15.8 cfm
Bendix-Westinghouse BA-921 one cylinder,
gear-driven, water-cooled and engine oil
lubricated air compressor.
Other features and components of the air
system include an air dryer and nylon color-
coded air lines.
ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
The antilock braking system has one Electronic
Control Unit (ECU) controlling a four channel
system. A wheel slip sensor is mounted at each
front axle and drive axle wheel. The Tag axle
wheels are slave to the drive axle wheels.
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) is
maintenance free. Its operating voltage is 24 ± 6
volts DC. The thermal operating range for the
ECM is from -40 to 167°F (-40 to 75°C).
