3. Dual Relay Valve applies or releases the rear axle brakes in direct proportion to the control signals received from the foot brake valve The brake on each axle are applied using pressure from their dedicated respective reservoirs Loss of Front Axle Service Reservoir A service application made with a loss of air in the secondary circuit results in a no or low application of the front axle brakes Air pressure from the primary circuit of the foot brake valve applies the mid axle brakes and enters the primary control port of the Dual Relay Valve The Dual Relay Valve responds to primary control and applies the rear axle brakes Brake release occurs when foot brake valve pressure Is removed Loss of Mid Axle Service Reservoir A service application made with a loss of air in the primary circuit results in a no or low application of the mid axle brakes Air pressure from the secondary circuit of the foot brake valve applies the front axle brakes and enters the secondary control port of the Dual Relay Valve The Dual Relay Valve responds to secondary control and applies the rear axle brakes Brake release occurs when foot brake valve pressure Is removed 2 AD IS EP EXTENDED PURGE AIR DRYER f BA 922 7 DUAL TWIN CYLINDER RELAY VALVE COMPRESSOR Primary Control J aa ii Eg ABS 6 TRACTION CONTROL RAM REAR AXLE MODULE Loss of Rear Axle
4. Service Reservoir With a loss of rear axle service pressure the front and mid axle brakes will be applied by the foot brake valve Primary and secondary control pressure is received by the Dual Relay Valve however a no or low application of the rear brakes will occur due to a loss of pressure in the rear service reservoir Front and mid axle brakes will release when foot brake valve pressure is removed PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE GENERAL Important Preventive maintenance for the Dual Relay Valve consists entirely of inspections and tests The Dual Relay Valve is not serviceable and must be replaced when testing or inspection warrants it Kits and replacement parts are not available Because no two vehicles operate under identical conditions maintenance and maintenance intervals will vary Experience is a valuable guide in determining the best maintenance interval for any one particular operation Perform the tests and inspections presented at the prescribed intervals If the Dual Relay Valve fails to function as described or leakage is excessive it must be replaced with a genuine Bendix unit available at any authorized parts outlet Every 3 months or 25 000 miles or 900 operating hours 1 Remove any accumulated contaminants and visually inspect the exterior for excessive corrosion and physical damage 2 Inspect all air lines connected to the Dual Relay Valve for signs of wear or physical damage Replace as necessary 3
5. Test air line fittings for excessive leakage and tighten or replace as necessary 4 Perform the Leakage Test described in this manual Every year 100 000 miles or 3 600 operating hours 1 Perform the Operation and Leakage Tests described in this manual GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES WARNING PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH When working on or around a vehicle the following general precautions should be observed at all times 1 Park the vehicle on a level surface apply the parking brakes and always block the wheels Always wear safety glasses 2 Stop the engine and remove ignition key when working under or around the vehicle When working in the engine compartment the engine should be shut off and the ignition key should be removed Where circumstances require that the engine be in operation EXTREME CAUTION should be used to prevent personal injury resulting from contact with moving rotating leaking heated or electrically charged components 3 Do not attempt to install remove disassemble or assemble a component until you have read and thoroughly understand the recommended procedures Use only the proper tools and observe all precautions pertaining to use of those tools 4 Ifthe work is being performed on the vehicle s air brake system or any auxiliary pressurized air systems make certain to drain the air pressure from all reservoirs before beginning ANY work on th
