Inventory Extended Details
The Air Kit AK15533 is integral to maintaining the air pressure in truck braking systems. It features an air compressor, several air reservoirs, and a series of valves and hoses working in tandem. These components are crucial for ensuring effective braking. The compressor draws in air from the environment and compresses it, storing it in the reservoirs. When the brakes are applied, the system releases compressed air through valves, activating brake chambers to decelerate or stop the vehicle. Regular maintenance is vital to ensure continued reliable performance and the safe operation of the truck's braking system.
