Clean, dry air is essential for proper operation of pneumatic systems on commercial vehicles. Without it, increased downtime as well as shortened component and vehicle service life will inevitably result. 

The key to minimizing air system contamination lies in proper component specification, regular maintenance and diligent inspection practices, especially when it comes to today’s increasingly sophisticated vehicle systems. Engine oil, water, and dirt can form a toxic brew that will wreak havoc with seals, sensors, solenoids and more. Antilock braking systems, automated manual transmissions, and air cylinders (such as those used in fifth wheel slide and releases) are sensitive to small particle contamination. Is your operation doing all it can to prevent air system contamination? 

Attend this session and learn from our panel of experts what recommended practices ATA’s Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) suggested to eliminate problems associated with air system contamination. We’ll cover TMC RP 619B, Air System Inspection Procedure, and much more, to provide attendees today’s top techniques for addressing this important maintenance issue.
