Brakes and tires: Bendix s Roadcheck tips as inspection blitz set for May 4-6
Brake systems/brake adjustment can contribute to a range of issues that are easily averted through regular pre-trip inspections and preventive maintenance, the company said. Drivers should always conduct standard walk-arounds – pre- and post-trip inspections – before and after hitting the road. Look for visible problems such as loose hoses or damaged components like air chambers or pushrods, for example. Earlier, in the shop, air brake system inspections should include the following points:
Conducting a 90- to 100-psi brake application and listening for leaks
Measuring chamber stroke at each wheel-end to ensure proper brake adjustment
