This training focuses on the adjustment and operation of air pressure braking systems in trucks, buses and towed vehicles. This training is intended for supervisors and mechanics at transport companies, authorities or other companies with little to no knowledge of air pressure brake systems.
The following topics and learning objectives are covered:
- Physics basis
- Reading and understanding pneumatic braking schemes
- Structure and components of an air pressure braking system
- The construction, operation and testing of an air pressure braking system on a truck, trailer and bus.
- Setting, operation and testing of the trailer steering valve
- Setting, operation and testing of the parking braking system
- Basics of an Electronic Braking System (EBS)
- Basic knowledge about air suspension
After training, you can test and adjust an air pressure brake system and its components, as well as perform maintenance and repairs correctly.
In addition, we recommend our Basic Knowledge Air Brake eLearning for preparation and follow-up.
