RE: Air Brake REFRESHER and TEST procedures incl. Leak test

I always pump the air out of the tanks ( pump the service brake peddle) when I plan to leave the rig unattended. This way no one can release the park brake without starting the engine.

My one fear is depending on the park brake springs and losing bag pressure on the park brake drive axle while the tag is still inflated.

One other test that is mind opening is to roll at about 3 mph then set the park brake. it is far from an emergency brake. Not sure but I dont even think it is called or labeled "emergency brake".
