From the stuff you teach, I could tell there was something wrong. Limped Fire Rig to my shop. Showed them right were problem was. And told them do repairs, plus full DOT inspection, of Air brake system. This is in part thanks to listening to great instructors like you. So I knew what to look for in Air brake system. I wanted the Fire Rig to let Kids enjoy. Get in cab. It has the opposite type of release for AirBrakes. You pull out nob, for DRIVING. Yes it's not what I'm use too.

In your video you never explain the purpose of a air dryer I have a problem with a safety valve that is attached to an air dryer that sound like a machine gun before it purges The system is on a freightliner chassis and it as 20000 miles on the chassis and air system the governor ,safety valve ,filter dryer filter is new. The purge valve also is new. They problem is the system can not reach a 125 435 PSI at 12:00 rpm so it continues to release air with safety valve the purge system can not work. The purge system will work once you let off of the throttle and go back to 700 rpm the system worked great once you accelerate the system has begin to load the air tanks it does it again the same problem allowing air not to build to a 130 PSI.

Here is the video for the air dryer my friend; kzitem.info/news/bejne/2nifk2qbjpWZY6w The safety valves on the system are located on the air tanks.

Here's my work. Semi truck questions: What are the 6 main components for air brakes. 1 Air compressor 2 brake lines 3 brake pedal 4brake foundartions 5 ****the governor***** 6 air tanks What is the purpose of the governor? The governor is what allows the compressed air to be put in and out of the brake system from the engine’s air compressor. (The governor controls the compressor) How are the air tanks the first air brake fail safe? They are the first fail safe because they are what holds the compressed air if there was ever a problem with the air brake line system. They can hold up to 12 to 11 full brake stops. (The air tanks are the fail safe for the engine’s air compressor.) What is the purpose of a drain valve? The purpose of the drain value is to drain any moisture that has made its way into the air brake tanks from moisture build up caused by temperature changes. It’s important to drain your air brake air tanks EVERY DAY, DAILY, so that you can prevent future air brake problems from occurring.(do don’t want them to freeze up) What is the sound of the safety valve? ( at 150 psi) It sounds like a “machine gun.” When it does that there is a good chance there is a problem with the governor rather than the air compressor. Remember the governor is the gate/switch valve which allows more air to come into their system or to prevent more air from coming into the system. The air compressor is working the entire time the engine is on, which produces 800 psi of compressed air. The max psi air pressure in the brake system is 109-135 psi. Thank you for this help.
