Hydraulic/Air/Surge Brakes

Hydraulic brakes (Figure 3) should not require any special attention with the exception of routine maintenance such as shoe and lining replacement. These brakes can be adjusted in the same manner as electric brakes. Brake lines should be periodically checked for cracks, kinks, or blockage.

Figure 3 below displays the major hydraulic/air/surge brake components that will require inspection and maintenance. Please inspect these components as required using steps 1 through 6 as referenced in the electric brake adjustments section.
