    Here are a more thorough schematic look at the operation from Nova Scotia: Air Brake Manual

    These things come in handy if only to help better understand the workings and why you do what you do during a pre-trip....this one even shows how to properly check the pushrod distance by yourself during a pre-trip.

    On the Kenworth I drive the yellow knob doesn't automatically pop the red (older Kens and Petes I drove both did). Someone told me that is because the trailer and tractor park brakes were combined in some of the newer trucks (this is an '07)...dunno about that. Thoughts?
     
    TheShadow Thanks this.
