SERVICE MANUALThen after the release bolt has been backed off, the airpressure must be released from the parking brakesystem by placing the brake control in "apply" position.In this manner, you will have the air pressure in thesystem to assist in caging the spring.Do not apply more than 68 N.m (50 ft lbs) torque torelease bolt.If the release bolt should bind, apply "Liquid Wrench"or equivalent to the bolt and allow to soak into thethreads.In the event the air source has been depleted, therelease bolt may be backed off in the same manner;however, turning the release bolt will require more effortsince the parking brake spring will be fully extended, andwhen turning the bolt you will actually be pulling orcollapsing the spring manually.MANUAL SET OF SPRING BRAKEIf the release bolt threads are dry apply a light coat of"Never Seez" lubricant or equivalent to the threads. Donot apply "Never Seez" lubricant supplied in an aerosolcan.To manually reset parking brake at each spring brakechamber, screw release bolt down into unit until nut isbottomed against the head insert. Torque nut to 61-68N.m (45-50 ft lbs) and reinstall breather caps with arrowpointing toward ground.MAINTENANCEThe breather cap must be in place and the arrow on thebreather cap must point down. The breather cap shouldbe checked periodically. If dirty or clogged, a newbreather cap should be installed. When the breather capis removed, check the release bolt nut to assure it istightened (clockwise) to 68 N.m (50 ft lbs) torque.The spring brake and service brake chamber clamprings should be checked periodically to insure the clampis evenly sealed and clamp bolt nuts are tightened to 27-34 N.m (20-25 ft lbs) torque.WARNINGTo avoid personal injury never remove thespring brake clamp ring unless manualrelease mechanism has been applied asinstructed in MANUAL RELEASE ofSPRING BRAKE and assembly is placed ina caging fixture.Visually inspect exterior surfaces of assembly fordamage.Be sure to check mounting stud nuts are tightened to136-156 N.m (100-115 ft lbs).Air line fitting should be checked to be sure they aretorqued to 34 N.m (25 ft lbs).Check service brake chamber pushrod to insure it hasfree motion and is in straight alignment from servicechamber to slack adjuster. Worn yoke pins are to bereplaced and are locked in place with a cotter pin. Makesure the jam nut is tight.CAUTION,Some parts, such as air brake chamberdiaphragm, should be inspected once ayear or every 80,000 km (50,000 miles)and replaced if considered unserviceablefor further use.LUBRICATIONRegular lubrication of the double diaphragm spring brakechamber is not required; however, when the unit isdisassembled, all parts must be washed in clean solventand IH 251H EP grease or equivalent NLGI #2multipurpose lithium grease applied to release bolt,pushrod, seals and white plastic guides, outside ofdiameter edge of spring piston and guide surface ofhead.If the threads on the release bolts are dry a light coat of"Never Seez" lubricant should be applied to the threads.Do not use "Never Seez" lubricant supplied in an aerosolcan.REMOVE1.Block the wheels of the vehicle to prevent it frommoving.2.Manually release the spring brakes (refer toMANUAL RELEASE OF SPRING BRAKE).After releasing brakes release the air pressure inshe parking brake system by placing theparking brake control in ’apply" position. Besure that the service brakes are released also.3.Remove air hoses fron parking brake andservice brake chambers. Tag hoses forproper identification at reassembly.4.Loosen jam nut at service brake pushrod yoke.5.Disconnect service brake pushrod yoke fromslack adjuster.CTS-4101W - Page 5
