There are 6 basic components on an air brake equipped vehicle:
1) compressor;
2) governor;
3) air tanks;
4) air lines;
5) brake pedal;
6) foundation brakes.
The air compressor on an air brake equipped vehicle is exactly the same as an air compressor you would find in a garage. The only difference is that an air compressor on an air brake equipped vehicle runs the entire time the motor is running; therefore, it is controlled by the governor.
The governor controls the maximum and minimum setting of the air compressor because the air compressor is capable of pumping up to 500psi (pounds per square inch). The governor must return the air compressor to the load or cut-in phase by a minimum of 80psi. And it must return the air compressor to the cut-out or unload phase by a maximum pressure of 135psi.
All air brake systems are equipped with a safety valve, which blows off excess pressure at 150psi. You will know it is the safety valve because it makes a sound like a machine gun.
The air tanks or reservoirs store compressed air.
As well, the air tanks are the first fail-safe of the air brake system because these store enough compressed air for 10-12 full service brake applications.
The air lines direct compressed air through the air brake system. The air lines are not coloured coded except the service and supply lines that connect the semi-trailer to the tractor or truck.
The brake pedal applies the service brakes, which are the brakes that bring the vehicle to a stop while it's going up and down the road.
And the foundation brakes are the components of the air brake system that are actually responsible for bringing the vehicle to a stop:
• brake chambers
• push rod
• slack adjuster
• 'S' cam
• brake shoes (pads)
• brake drum
• rotor
• calipers
And the foundation brakes can be any of the following; however, drum and disc brakes are most common on today's vehicles:
• drum ('S' cam) brakes
• disc brakes
• wedge brakes
• CamLaster brakes
• air-over-hydraulic brakes
The foundation brakes-in this day & age-will be 2 basic types: drum or disc brakes. Foundation brakes also consist of air-over-hydraulic and wedge brakes - you will need to know the latter for the purposes of the air brake knowledge test.

You are a excellent instructor , and you have a simple application in guiding and administrating the air brake systems. I really have a greater understanding and comprehension knowledge of the update vs. outdated Brake chambers components. Wow , my confidence at a 100% I have a class B endorsement and I had it for nearly 30 years , I definitely remember those old Brake chambers . I am up grading my license to Class A .Thank you so much for educating me , and everyone who is interested in taking the air brake test .

In Pa they ask about the 4 X stopping distrances over 40mpr
Yes, that information is included in the e-book. Is there something you don’t understand there? Cheers Rick
Love the content. Just passed my class 1 written and trying to get a class 1 before the new laws come into effect in manitoba. Its hard to get in for a road test. What are your thoughts on that new law?
Hi Devon Sinder - Thank you for your comment. And congratulations on passing your learner's permit. It will be interesting to see what happens with he laws; however, it will probably go the way of the new laws in Ontario. To fulfill the minimum training time, driving schools put students in a classroom. My thinking is that you can't learn to drive a truck in a classroom. We're happy to hear we could help out. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
Thank you. Great explanation. Is there any chance to find a link on this PDF presentation anywhere?
Hi AndyRojen - Apologies for the late response. Thank you for your comment. And you are most welcome. I don't have it posted any where as of yet my friend. I would suggest however, that you get your in-cab checklist here my friend: www.smartdrivetest.com/cdl-air-brake-checklist If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
I live in Texas I have a class B but I want the air brake endorsement for the future
Awesome! Drop us a note if you have questions. Cheers Rick
I would like to know about Air blake
Hi Rick August I need the manual for air brake test in cab I go to trucking school.
Hi Anita Jones - Thank you for your comment. And where are you in the world? All the best, Cheers Rick
I wondrr why they do not update the mto air brake book. Why they like to make it look more complicated than what it is.
Unfortunately, the people in charge of the government curriculum are bureaucrats, not teachers. Rather than empowering drivers with information that essential, bureaucrats are more concerned with liability and covering their proverbial "asses" if something goes wrong. This video may help too: ruclips.net/video/dMxilatT0qw/видео.html Drop us a note if we can help further. All the best, Cheers Rick
Isn't there a component of the Air Brake testing component that involves disconnecting the glad hands and testing the emergency shut off ?
Hi Austin Brown: thank you for your query. And yes, you would be looking for this video: ruclips.net/video/m4S8PSRAuF4/видео.html If there's anything further we can do, drop us a note. All the best, Cheers Rick
Smart Drive Test right on.. thanks. 👍
Do I need to test the hand brake as part of the pretrip inspection?
Hi Darlene - thank you for your query. Are you talking about the parking/emergency brake. If so, yes, you have to test the brakes as one of the last components of your pre-trip inspection. See this video: ruclips.net/video/rMZwffPGAiQ/видео.html All the best, Cheers Rick
If I already have my b-class CDL license and I just want to take the air brake endorsements do I just do The procedure you had just explained basically?
Where are you doing your Air Brake endorsement my friend? Cheers Rick
@@smartdrivetest I'm here in Chicago.
I am being taught to drain ALL reservoirs on the tractor for the pretrip inspection. Is this wrong?
Hi Darlene - thank you for your comment and query. Draining all the air tanks isn't wrong - just a preference of the instructor. And for the purposes of the test--in theory--all air tanks must be drained every day. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
Now my question, someone posted this on facebook. Is this test about being qualified to adjust brakes? I have a card saying I am certified to adjust air brakes.
Hi Sandra - thanks for your comment and question. Some provinces and states require that you take an additional course to adjust brakes fitted with manual slack adjusters. See this video: ruclips.net/video/knbgfudCZC8/видео.html However, most of the information for air brakes here on the channel is about qualifying to drive a vehicle fitted with air brakes. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
I need help with if y push air brakes in to go?
Hi Curtis Jordan - Thank you for your comment. And this video may help: ruclips.net/video/ZFi957GaxpU/видео.html If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
If you test an automatic, is it already in nuetral as you get in or you have to put it there before chalking the wheels? Thank you
Chock the wheels and then put the transmission into neutral and release the brakes. Drop us a note if we can help further. All the best, Cheers Rick
Smart Drive Test when you do pre inspection, do you do outside first or the incab test?
Under the hood- (passenger, driver); inside the cab; front of the truck and around the truck in counter-clock-wise direction; under the truck and trailer; apply brakes, remove chocks; and do brake test. Drop us a note if we can help further. All the best, Cheers Rick
pretty sure you have to hold the break application for 2 minutes.
Hi Kayte & Kenz - thanks for your comment. Now you must be in Alberta?? Yes, if that's where you are, then it is in fact 2 minutes! If there's anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
