2-68 GROUP 2-BRAKES<br />

Connections in this system are to<br />

the reservoir and <strong>com</strong>pressor unloading<br />

ports. There also is an exhaust<br />

port.<br />

Reservoir air pressure enters the<br />

D-2 governor at one of its reservoir<br />

ports and acts on the area of the<br />

piston and beneath the inlet and exhaust<br />

valve. As the air pressure<br />

builds up, the piston moves against<br />

the resistance of the pressure setting<br />

spring. The piston and inlet and exhaust<br />

valve move up when the reservoir<br />

air pressure reaches the cutout<br />

setting of the governor.<br />

The exhaust stem seats on the inlet<br />

and exhaust valve and then the<br />

inlet passage opens. Reservoir air<br />

pressure then flows by the open<br />

inlet valve, through the passage in<br />

the piston, and out the unloader port<br />

to the <strong>com</strong>pressor unloading mechanism.<br />

The air, besides flowing to<br />

the <strong>com</strong>pressor unloading mechanism,<br />

also flows around the piston<br />

and acts on the additional area of the<br />

piston. This additive force, which results<br />

from a larger area on the piston,<br />

assures a positive action and<br />

fully opens the inlet valve.<br />

As the system reservoir air pressure<br />

drops to the cut-in setting of the<br />

governor, the force exerted by the air<br />

pressure on the piston will be reduced<br />

so that the pressure setting<br />

spring will move the piston down.<br />

IN-TRUCK ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS<br />

AIR COMPRESSOR DRIVE<br />

BELT ADJUSTMENT<br />

If the reservoir pressure will not<br />

rise to normal or rises too slowly, a<br />

slipping <strong>com</strong>pressor drive belt could<br />

be the cause.<br />

VERTICALLY-MOUNTED<br />

COMPRESSOR<br />

1. Loosen the bolts that retain the<br />

<strong>com</strong>pressor to the mounting bracket<br />

(Fig. 3).<br />

2. Slide the <strong>com</strong>pressor away<br />

from the fan pulley until a Vi inch<br />

belt deflection (with thumb pressure)<br />

is established.<br />

3. Tighten the <strong>com</strong>pressor mounting<br />

bolts.<br />

SIDE-MOUNTED COMPRESSOR<br />

1. Loosen the idler pulley bracket<br />

pivot bolt and adjusting bolt (Fig. 4).<br />

2. Pivot the idler bracket and pulley<br />

against the belt until Vi inch belt<br />

deflection (with thumb pressure) is<br />

established.<br />

3. Tighten the adjusting bolt and<br />

pivot bolt with the idler bracket and<br />
