DCA-100SSJU — TRAILER BRAKING SYSTEM
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.
Inspect these components as required using steps 1
through 6 as referenced in the electric brake adjustments
section. Reference Table 6 for hydraulic brake
troubleshooting guidelines.
