Air Gauges and Air Leaks
WARNING
DO NOT operate the vehicle if leakage
in
the air system is detected. Conduct
the following procedure and contact an
authorized dealer (or any other proper-
ly equipped service center) if a leak is
detected. Failure to check the brakes
or follow these procedures could
cause a system failure, increasing the
risk of an accident and may result in
personal injury, property damage, or
death.
If your vehicle is equipped with air brakes,
it has two separate, additional air systems:
Primary and Secondary
. Each air system is
monitored by a gauge indicating system
pressure in either pounds per square inch
(psi), and/or kilopascals (kPa).
The Primary gauge indicates pressure in
the rear braking system:
Primary Air Pressure Gauge
The Secondary gauge indicates pressure
in the front braking system:
Secondary Air Pressure Gauge
The Primary and Secondary Air Pressure
gauges are shown in the Primary Gauges
V
iew on the Digital Display.
24
At start-up, the Primary and Secondary Air
Pressure gauges may indicate red, and the
Low Air System Pressure alarm may sound
until the minimum operational pressure
setpoint of 65 psi (448 kPa) is reached.

If the tanks are empty, this can take up to
two minutes. If these gauges
• Remain red
• Turn red
• Indicate below 65 psi (448 kPa)
Or the Low Air System Pressure Alarm
• Turns on
• Does not turn off
do not attempt to drive the vehicle until the
problem is found and fixed: system
pressure is too low for normal brake
operation.

The model 520 Right-hand Stand-up uses additional physical gauges for Primary and Secondary Air Pressure.

The model 520 Right-hand Stand-up also indicates low air pressure using a warning light in the physical gauges.
