In general, Bendix recommends that maintenance checks be
made every 900 operating hours; 25,000 miles; or three(3)
months, whichever comes fi rst (see warranty publication
BW1715 for details). Important: Review the warranty policy
before performing any intrusive maintenance procedures.
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. See the Service
Data Manual for more information (SD-98-9808).

The Bendix

module has an integrated reservoir,
air dryer and valve system. This means that when the air
pressure in the system builds from zero, the order in which
the reservoirs fi ll is much different than a traditional three(3)
reservoir system. Observe the pressure gauges of the
vehicle as system pressure builds from 0 psi. The primary
reservoir gauge rises until it reaches about 110 psi, then
the secondary reservoir begins to build. As the secondary
reservoir builds initial pressure to approximately 55 psi –
then to approximately 85 psi – a sequence of two pressure
protection valves open, supplying the vehicle accessories.
At about 110 psi, both primary and secondary reservoirs
charge, simultaneously, until governor cut-out is reached.
