SERVICE SYSTEM FAILURE (Fig. 5)
If air pressure is reduced in the service system, pressure 
in the trailer supply line (and likewise in the tractor) will be 
reduced, until the pressure protection piston and spring 
moves the piston and closes the inlet valve. With the 
pressure protection inlet valve closed approximately 50-60 
psi will be retained in the trailer supply line and in the 
tractor service reservoir. With 50-60 psi pressure held in 
the trailer supply line and against the control piston in the 
SR-2
 valve, the trailer spring brakes will remain released 
while low pressure warning will occur in the tractor (60 psi 
minimum) to warn the driver. The spring brake reservoir 
check valve will protect against loss of air pressure.
EMERGENCY APPLICATION WITH SERVICE SYSTEM
FAILURE (Fig. 6)
To brake the trailer after the service system failure has 
occurred, the trailer supply valve or parking control valve 
is used to exhaust the remaining 55 psi trailer supply 
line pressure. Exhausting the trailer supply line removes 
air pressure from the control piston of the SR-2
 valve 
allowing the control inlet valve to seat and opening the 
exhaust valve. The spring brake emergency section is then 
exhausted through the SR-2
 valve. Suffi cient pressure will 
be maintained in the spring brake reservoir to release the 
spring brake at least once after an emergency application 
has been made.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Important: Review the Bendix Warranty Policy before 
performing any intrusive maintenance procedures. A 
warranty may be voided if intrusive maintenance is 
performed during the warranty period.
No two vehicles operate under identical conditions, as 
a result, maintenance intervals may vary. Experience is 
a valuable guide in determining the best maintenance 
interval for air brake system components. At a minimum, 
the SR-2
 valve should be inspected every 6 months or 
1500 operating hours, whichever comes fi rst, for proper 
operation. Should the SR-2
 valve not meet the elements 
of the operational tests noted in this document, further 
investigation and service of the valve may be required.
SERVICE AND LEAKAGE TESTS
Check the tractor dash gauge against a test gauge known 
to be accurate prior to performing these tests. Connect 
the tractor air lines to the trailer on which the SR-2
 trailer 
spring brake valve is to be tested. Block all wheels or 
otherwise hold both vehicles by a means other than air 
brakes during these tests.
1.  Install two separate test gauges or one dual test gauge 
with one line to the service reservoir. Build the tractor 
and trailer to full system pressure by placing the trailer 
supply valve in the charge position and the parking 
control valve in the brakes released position.
NOTE: As system pressure reaches approximately 55 
psi, the service reservoir and the spring brake reservoir 
should begin to charge. When full system pressure has 
been obtained and the spring brakes are released, it is 
acceptable to have a slightly lower pressure reading in 
the service and spring brake reservoir than is registered 
on the dash gauge. Apply a soap solution to the cap 
nut, exhaust port and vent to detect possible leakage. 
A 1” bubble in 5 seconds is permissible.
