These shall automatically apply in case of air system failure. A mechanical means of releasing the spring brake shall be provided in the event of total loss of air pressure.

A quick build up system shall be provided, capable of building enough air pressure to release the spring brake in less than thirty (30) seconds, when starting with the entire air system at zero pounds pressure.

The rapid modulation of air pressure prevents wheel lock-up and increases driver control.

This ABS system shall be a 4S/4M system with four (4) wheel speed sensors and four (4) modulator valves.

If a fault occurs in one wheel, that wheel shall have normal (non-ABS) brake function. The other wheels shall continue to provide the ABS function. If the ABS system should fail completely, the brake control shall be returned to normal (non-ABS) braking.
