DRIVING - Brakes 4 The air compressor on the engine will typically provide 100-130 psi (690-896 kPa) to the air tanks. The vehicle is also designed with an air dryer, which removes moisture from the compressed air in order to protect all components in the air system. The brake system may be further enhanced by additional devices such as brake proportioning valves, antilock braking systems, or sensors designed to let you know if your brake pads need to be serviced.
DRIVING - Brakes Engage Trailer Hand Brakes Press the lever down to engage the Trailer Hand Brakes. Push the lever back up to release the Trailer Hand Brakes. Automatic Traction Control Your truck/tractor ABS is equipped with an automatic traction control (ATC) feature. This feature is controlled by a switch on the dash. Do not allow the traction control lamp to remain on continuously for an extended length of time. Extended continuous use of the ATC can cause overheating of the drive wheel brakes.
DRIVING - Brakes bobtail mode, these tractors will require greater brake pedal application to provide the equivalent braking to a bobtail tractor not equipped with a proportioning system. Trailer ABS Power Line Communication (PLC) 4 North American on-highway vehicles are equipped with a separate electrical circuit to power the ABS on towed vehicle(s). In most cases, the ABS power will be supplied through the Auxiliary circuit on the primary 7-way trailer light line connector.
DRIVING - Brakes A Real World Example of How the System Operates NOTE Very few trailers built before 03/01/2001 have this option. Trailers built after 03/01/2001 are built with PLC technology. Advanced ABS with Stability Control Advanced ABS with Stability Control is a feature that reduces the risk of rollovers and other loss of control situations. For vehicles towing trailers, the feature can reduce the risk of a trailer jackknifing.
DRIVING - Brakes 4 During operation, if the friction between the road surface and the tires is not sufficient to oppose lateral (side) forces, one or more of the tires can slide, causing the truck/ tractor to spin. These yaw events are referred to as either "under-steer" (where there is a lack of vehicle response to steering input due to tire slide on the steer axle) or "over-steer" (where the tractor's rear end slides out due to tire slide on the rear axle) situation.
DRIVING - Brakes This feature helps improve traction when vehicles are on slippery surfaces or surfaces with poor traction (i.e. mud or snow) by reducing drive wheel overspin. Automatic traction control works automatically in two different ways: • If a drive wheel starts to spin, ATC applies air pressure to brake the wheel. This transfers engine torque to the wheels with better traction. • If all drive wheels spin, ATC reduces engine torque to provide improved traction.
DRIVING - Brakes 4 The ABS lamp flashes slowly during offroad mode engagement. This is done to alert you of a modification to the ABS control software. At speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h), the ABS controller operates in the normal on-highway mode. At speeds between 10 and 25 mph (16 and 40 km/h), the ABS control software is modified to allow short periods (0.25 seconds) of locked-wheel cycles. At speeds below 10 mph (16 km/h), the ABS control software is turned off to allow locked wheels.
DRIVING - Brakes The ESC system was specifically calibrated and validated only for your vehicle’s original factory-built configuration. If your vehicle’s chassis components are altered (for example; a wheelbase extension or reduction, tag axle addition or removal, tractor to truck conversion or steering system component change) the ESC system must be disabled immediately by a qualified mechanic.
DRIVING - Brakes • 4 The vehicle is used to haul double or triple trailer combinations. • If very rapidly winding steering inputs are inputted at high speeds. • There are mechanical problems with suspension leveling of the tractor or trailer resulting in uneven loads. • The vehicle is maneuvering on a high banked road creating either additional side forces due to the weight (mass) of the vehicle or a deviation between expected and actual yaw rates.
DRIVING - Brakes vehicle. They reduce brake wear and tear and the need for continuous brake use, which can lead to your service brakes overheating. Ideally, you should always slow your vehicle with your retarder (where permitted by law) and use your service brakes only for stopping completely. Operating this way will greatly prolong the life of your brakes.
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension Axle and Suspension Differential Lock 4 The vehicle may be equipped with switches to lock the either of the rear axle differentials. Depending on how the vehicle is specified, a combination of individual switches may be available that can lock the interaxle driveline and/or any combination of the forward rear or rear-rear driving axles. The interaxle differential switch allows each axle to turn independently.
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension WARNING Never shift the axle when moving downhill. Engine driveline disengagement may occur, eliminating engine retardation and allowing the wheels to spin faster than the current speed of the engine. This may require severe braking to slow the vehicle down and can result in an accident. Failure to comply may result in death, personal injury, equipment or property damage.
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension 3. 4. 4 To make the axle downshift, release and depress the accelerator quickly to increase the engine rpm. The axle will shift to LOW range. You are now in the LOW axle range for rough terrain and heavy loads. Shift the transmission normally to maintain the desired speed.
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension decrease load on the drive axles and will decrease traction. Decreasing pressure will transfer more weight to the drive axles and will result in more traction from the drive axles. Deflate the auxiliary axle suspension before coupling or uncoupling a trailer. After the trailer is coupled or uncoupled, then increase pressure to balance traction and axle load requirements.
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension • CAUTION DO NOT modify the air system and/or control functionality on a factory installed auxiliary axle(s). Modifying the factory operation of the pusher and/or tag axle(s) will void your warranty, and can cause equipment damage. 4 CAUTION A change in tire size on either the auxiliary axles or the drive/steer axles can change the calibration of the auxiliary axles. If tires are installed with a different loaded radius, the calibration procedure must be repeated.

NOTE Exceeding local, state, or federal weight limits may result in citations. Contact your local commercial weight enforcement office for limits in your area. NOTE Steerable-pusher and/or tag axle(s) will raise when the transmission is shifted into reverse or when the parking brakes are applied.
DRIVING - Axle and Suspension 6. 4 Rotate the valve either clockwise or counterclockwise until air pressure in the air springs provides the ride height specified for that suspension. Measure the ride height from the bottom of the frame rail to the approximate centerline of the rearmost drive axle hub: • For tandem axles, make the vertical measurement at the centerline of the suspension.
DRIVING - Trailer Operations What to do if an Air Spring Ruptures If an air spring has ruptured, drive the vehicle to a safe stop off the highway to investigate the problem. WARNING DO NOT continue to drive with ruptured air springs. The air loss can cause the spring brakes to apply allowing your brakes to drag and burn up the linings, which could lead to an accident causing death or personal injury. DO NOT continue to operate the vehicle in this condition.
DRIVING - Trailer Operations WARNING Always inspect the fifth wheel for proper locking after coupling the tractor to a trailer. Failure to properly couple the tractor to a trailer (the kingpin is engaged in a closed lock jaw with the lock jaw secured by a closed plunger) may cause trailer separation which could result in an accident involving death or personal injury. 4 To lock the fifth wheel around the kingpin: 1. Ensure trailer brakes are locked and the landing gear is down. 2.
DRIVING - Trailer Operations NOTE Do not drive tractor free of trailer. 7. If the tractor has a rear air suspension, deflate (dump) the rear suspension enough so that the fifth wheel will smoothly separate from the trailer.

DRIVING - Driving Tips and Techniques Coasting WARNING DO NOT coast with the transmission in neutral or with the clutch pedal depressed, it is a dangerous practice. Coasting in neutral may result in damage to your drivetrain when you try to re-engage the transmission. You could lose control of the vehicle which can lead to an accident involving death or personal injury. 4 Do not coast with the transmission in neutral or with the clutch pedal depressed.
DRIVING - Driving Tips and Techniques higher gear to bring engine rpm within the optimum speed range. • When driving downhill: shift to a lower gear, use the engine brake (if so equipped), and use the service brake, keeping the engine speed below 2,100 rpm. When the engine speed reaches its maximum governed speed, the injection pump governor cuts off fuel to the engine.
DRIVING - What to Consider when using a Sleeper Bunk General Condition 4 Other factors affecting fuel consumption are related to loads and the type of roads on which the vehicle operates. It is not always possible to choose the most adequate road, but the ideal road is the one that allows a steady speed in high gear, without requiring frequent braking and acceleration.
DRIVING - Stopping the Vehicle WARNING Be sure no one ever rides in the upper bunk. That person could be thrown out in an accident and could be very seriously injured. The upper bunk is not equipped with a restraint system. DO NOT use the upper bunk while you are moving. Failure to comply may result in death, personal injury, equipment or property damage. The sleeper restraint is stored in a compartment on the rear sleeper cab wall.
DRIVING - Stopping the Vehicle WARNING DO NOT carry additional fuel containers in your vehicle. Fuel containers, either full or empty, may leak, explode, and cause or feed a fire. Failure to comply may result in death or personal injury. 4 WARNING Diesel fuel in the presence of an ignition source could cause an explosion. A mixture of gasoline or alcohol with diesel fuel increases this risk of explosion. DO NOT remove a fuel tank cap near an open flame.
DRIVING - Stopping the Vehicle 4 4. 3. Drain water from the air reservoirs. While the engine and air supply system are still warm, drain moisture from the air reservoirs. Open the reservoir drains just enough to drain the moisture. Don’t deplete the entire air supply. Be sure to close the drains before leaving the vehicle. Y53-6126-1A1 (01/21) Secure the vehicle. Close all the windows and lock all the doors.
