(39) = Air brake service:

Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper hook
-up,
binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect drum
brake linings for wear or cracks. Inspect other brake
parts at each wheel, including drums, wheel
cylinders and piston heat shields, boots and wheel
speed sensor wiring. Check brake pedal for excessive
free play or travel (or every 6 months, whichever
occurs first) and have serviced if needed. Check
brakes more often if driving habits and conditions
result in frequent braking. Replace air dryer cartridge
only if excessive oil or moisture is present. A small
amount of oil in the system is normal and should not
be considered as a reason to replace the cartridge.

Test air lines for leaks; tighten as needed. Replace
compressor filter.

Inspect air parking brake chamber for leaks and
damage. Inspect lines and hoses for leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Also check all attachments for
tightness, wear or damage. Note: The spring brake
section of the rear brake diaphragms are
non
-serviceable.

Replace the air compressor filter element, mounted
on the air compressor. For remote air compressor
intake service, refer to engine air cleaner filter
replacement.
