1.Chock the vehicle wheels. Start the engine and charge the air brake system to governor cut-out, around 130 psi.

2.The primary and secondary air gauges will start to rise. As the system pressure reaches the cut-out pressure, the gauges will stop moving and the air dryer will purge. When the air dryer purges, the secondary gauge will drop 8 to 14 psi.

3.Shut off the engine and push in the yellow button to release the parking brakes. Note that the gauges will drop a small amount. Check the air gauges and if either gauge indicates a continued loss of pressure, check the system for leaks.

4.Apply and hold the service brakes by fully depressing the brake pedal. The gauges will drop a small amount. Again, check for a loss of pressure by watching both gauges. If either gauge indicates a continued loss of air pressure, check the system for leaks.

5.Release the service brakes. Continue to apply and release the service brakes until the pressure drops below governor cut-in (approximately 100 psi). Both gauges will show a drop in pressure with each brake application. If the system air pressure goes below 60 psi, the low pressure indicators will activate.

6.Start the engine and charge the air brake system again. Turn the engine off.

7.Locate and drain the primary reservoir. Both dash air gauges will indicate a pressure drop. The secondary reservoir, which is not being drained, will stop showing a drop in pressure above 90 psi. If both continue to drain, this indicates that the secondary reservoir has a defective, or missing, pressure protection valve such as the SC-PR™single check protection valve.

8.Install or service the SC-PR™single check protection valve in the air brake system as shown in the schematic below.

9.Start the engine and charge the air brake system again. Turn the engine off.

10.Locate and drain the secondary reservoir. As this reservoir is drained, only the secondary gauge should indicate a pressure drop. If both continue to drain, this indicates that the primary reservoir has a defective, or missing, single or one way check valve.

11.Replace the existing, or install a new, single check valve in the primary reservoir supply port.

BW2763 specifications

The BENDIX BW2763 is a highly regarded and innovative product in the realm of automotive components, designed to enhance vehicle performance and safety. As a premium brake pad offering from BENDIX, it stands out due to its advanced technological features and superior characteristics that cater to various driving conditions and demands.

One of the main features of the BW2763 is its proprietary friction formulation. This unique blend of materials ensures exceptional stopping power while minimizing noise and dust generation. The friction material of the BW2763 is engineered to perform well in both wet and dry conditions, providing drivers with consistent braking performance regardless of the weather. This reliability builds confidence in the vehicle's handling, contributing to an overall safer driving experience.

Another key technology embedded in the BENDIX BW2763 is its thermal management system. High-performance brake pads generate significant heat during operation, which can lead to brake fade if not effectively managed. The BW2763 includes specially designed cooling channels and heat-resistant materials that help dissipate heat quickly, ensuring that the brakes maintain optimal performance, even under repeated heavy braking conditions.

The BENDIX BW2763 also features a pre-attached noise-dampening shim. This innovation reduces vibration and noise during braking, addressing a common concern among drivers regarding the unpleasant sounds produced by traditional brake pads. The addition of this shim not only enhances driving comfort but also prolongs the life of the brake components by minimizing wear.

Durability is another hallmark of the BW2763. BENDIX has engineered this product to endure the rigors of daily driving and performance conditions. The robust construction and high-quality materials ensure that these brake pads provide long-lasting service, reducing the frequency of replacements and offering significant value to the user.

Installation of the BENDIX BW2763 is straightforward, making it a preferred choice among DIY enthusiasts and professional mechanics alike. The pads are designed to fit seamlessly into a wide range of vehicle models, ensuring compatibility and ease of use.

In summary, the BENDIX BW2763 combines innovative features, advanced technologies, and durable construction to deliver exceptional braking performance and reliability. Its proprietary friction formulation, effective thermal management, noise-dampening capabilities, and ease of installation make it an ideal choice for drivers looking to enhance their vehicle's safety and performance.
