I started up the eagle after a long peroid of sitting and I have no brakes. I have plenty of air buildup and the compressor is fine. I am getting air to the rear tank and the front. I have air for the doors,wipers ect and pressure cutoff at 120. Can release parking brake using emergency release but cannot release by pressing in park brake. I have no foot pressure at all. I will be starting out checking lines starting at front tank but just wonder if someone has already experienced this problem. I have not checked for pressure at the inlet to foot tredle as yet (very hard to get to) Just seems strange, low air warning did not come on at startup either or when I dumped air from tanks. Looking for suggestions |

I just had the same problem. My problem was the plunger piston at the top of the treddle valve, which was frozen and would not move. When you push on the brake peddle, it makes contact with the top of the valve .A rubber boot that keeps dirt out. Under the boot is a piston that travels up and down. This piston was corroded. I had to remove the valve assembly in order to fix the problem and free up the piston.
My e-mail is eagleman@mcn .org if you wish to contact me for any other info about the prob..
Good luck, Wayne |
