AIR SYSTEM ??

[Leroy]

The standards for airing up and testing brakes for your air brake system are the
same as a big rig. The following link will provide guidelines for testing your
brakes and timing of air loss. As an OTR driver I perform these tests daily so
nothing grabs me at 70mph and 80K pounds. It would give you and indication of
where to start looking also. Some of the information is not applicable to the
coach because you do not have air brakes on a trailer. You bleed down test is
exceedingly important to check the protection valve.
