In the invention, a manually controlled brake release mechanism 48 is provided for releasing the brake 36, when the hydraulic circuit is not connected to a tractor vehicle without discharging fluid from the hydraulic circuit.CHRISTIAAN ANDRE CAMIEL * LIPPENS...
As the suspension is inflating, set the tractor parking brakes. Exit the cab and crank up the landing gear and fetch the wheel chocks from the trailer. Before releasing the trailer parking brakes, do one more tug test to ensure the slider locks are fully engaged. ...
Those serious about off-roading understand that releasing a bit of tire pressure at a moment's notice can mean the difference in quickly going on about your adventure or being stuck for hours. No one knows this better than Hutan, a group of adventure outfitters hailing from Southeast Asia tha...
The essential equipments comprise the pneumatic brakes (6), air supply line (18), safety valve (16), air reservoir (12), brake hose (19), operating valve (17), emergency brake relay (14) and their connectors. A power supply ... STENDER, AXEL,WIEHEN, CHRISTIAN, DR.,WITTE, NORBERT,...
Since we would be stuck in the shop awaiting the part anyway, on Thursday we had Joel go ahead and install an air dryer into our system, which keeps moisture out of our brakes and suspension system. This is more modern technology than available in 1961 when our bus was built, and an ...
a trailer with a king pin mounting means whereby the king pin moves forwardly during the uncoupling operation and rearwardly during the coupling operation and mechanism associated therewith and operated by such movements for lowering and elevating the prop and for applying and releasing the brakes....
brakes typically include two pneumatic actuators, the first connected to the main supply line and arranged to act against the spring, whereby when there is sufficient pressure in the first cylinder the spring is compressed, thereby releasing the parking brake, while the second actuator is connected...
subject to brake cylinder pressure in chamber 36, a piston 28 subject to pressure in automatic pipe A, a manually-controlled brake applying and releasing device D controlling all the brakes and a number of auxiliary brake applying and releasing devices Da to independently release associated brakes....
object of the invention to so arrange the trailer brake mechanism that its functions of setting and releasing the trailer brakes shall occur in proper harmony with the braking effects produced in the tractor unit, but without connections to the tractor unit, other than the necessary drawbar ...
In the preferred embodiment the braking system 14 is a hydraulic master cylinder which is operably connected to brakes on the trailer wheels (not shown). As a piston push rod 44 is moved into a master cylinder 48 hydraulic fluid is sent to the brakes, thereby applying them and slowing the...
