DCA-180SSK — TRAILER SAFETY GUIDELINES

Hydraulic/Air/Surge Brakes
Hydraulic brakes (Figure 3) should not require any special
attention with the exception of routine maintenance such as
shoe and lining replacement. These brakes can be adjusted
in the same manner as electric brakes. Brake lines should
be periodically checked for cracks, kinks, or blockage.
Figure 3 below displays the major hydraulic/air/surge brake

components that will require inspection and maintenance.
Please inspect these components as required using steps 1
through 6 as referenced in the electric brake adjustments
section.
