The brake diagram manual complements the
compressed air diagrams and contains
information required to read and understand
them.
The booklet comprises a list of components with
information on the components in the
compressed air system. The information covers
the designation, description, function and
symbol of each of the components. An
illustration is also provided showing the actual
appearance of the component.
Finally, the booklet contains the position
configuration. The figure shows an example of
how the components can be located in a vehicle
with 6x4 A/B ABS (6-channel).
The compressed air diagram consists of a
skeleton diagram with symbols for the various
components. It shows only how the various
components are connected to one another, not
where the components are located or how the
compressed air lines are routed in the chassis.
Pipe connections and joints are not displayed in
the diagram either.
Beside each symbol is a designation, which also
can be found in the list of components in this
booklet. If several components have the same
function, they have the same symbol but
different designations.
Example
The task of a safety valve is always to open if
the pressure in a circuit becomes too high. For
this reason, the symbol for safety valve in the
diagram is always the same. However, a valve
that opens at 14.3 bar has number 13, while one
that opens at 19 bar is designated as 35 (see
figure).
by placing a letter after the number, depending
on what they are used for.
Example
7c is the designation for the front circuit air tank
and 7d is the designation for the rear circuit air
tank (see figure).
Next to each line on the diagram is a marking in
the form of two or three letters, as well as
information on the diameter of the line. The line
marking indicates which circuit the line belongs
to, where it originates and where it runs to. The
marking can also be found on the line in the
vehicle.

Example
The designation MADØ16 indicates a line
belonging to the supply circuit running from the
compressor to the cooling coil. This has a
diameter of 16 mm. These markings are
explained in more detail in booklet 10:02-08,
Marking of compressed air lines and
connections.
Optional equipment is drawn in a box with
broken lines on the diagrams.
Components that constitute a single unit are
drawn in a dashed and dotted frame.
The air connections indicated on the symbols
are marked with a number describing what each
connection is intended for. The designation for
Intake is normally 1. If there are two intakes,
they are designated 11 and 12. Outlet is
normally designated 2; if there are several they
receive the numbers 21, 22, 23 etc. Number 3 is
a vent and 4 a connection for control air.

•19 is used for quicker application
10_2694
and release of the wheel brakes.
•19a acts as a switch control valve,
preventing braking of the tag axle
during TC control.
•19b is integrated with a check
valve. The purpose of the check
valve is to prevent the parking
brake being applied if there is no
pressure in the tank for the
parking and trailer circuits.
•19c is used in vehicles with
double front axles. It has a quick
release function.
The air tank is a store of compressed
air for vehicles with air suspension
and load handling.
39Overflow valveThe overflow valve is used on
1
vehicles with extra air tanks for load
handling.
The purpose is to protect the brake
system if the pressure drops in the
2
load handling tanks, and to supply the
72

brake system with air before the load
handling tanks are filled.

The load sensing valve controls the
brake pressure to the rear circuit. It is
controlled by an outer arm. A heavy
load yields a high brake pressure and
a light load yields a lower brake
pressure to the rear axle.

brake pressure to the rear circuit. It is
controlled by the bellows pressure of
the drive shaft. A heavy load yields a
high brake pressure and a light load
yields a low brake pressure to the rear
52Interlock valveThe interlock valve closes when the
pressure drops below a certain value
and can then only be opened manually

when the system is pressurized again.
The purpose of the interlock valve is
to prevent release of the parking
10_2675
brake, which occurs if the parking
brake valve is in the released position
when charging up the pressure in the
brake system.
55Test connection/
Pressurizing valve
A manometer can be connected to a
test connection to check the pressure
in a brake circuit.
To charge the compressed air system
from another compressed air source,
only the outlet by the footstep for the
2
driver area may be used. This is

located between the compressor and
the air dryer, so that the air passes
through the air dryer before reaching
components sensitive to moisture.
The supply dump valve for the trailer
supply air is connected to the parking
and trailer brake circuits. Together
with the manual control valve 61d,
without test position, the supply dump
valve ensures trailer parking brake
operation with the lever in parking
position.

The valve supplies four circuits with
compressed air. If the pressure drops
in any circuit (e.g. a ruptured line) the
four-circuit protection valve protects
the remaining circuits from
10 2678
depressurising. It also prioritises the
air supply to the service brake circuits
and accessories over the parking/
trailer circuit.

86Pressure sensor, EBSThe pressure sensor measures the
pressure in the drive shaft air bellows.
The control unit uses this value
together with the value from the

calculate which brake pressure value
is to be activated from the control
modules.
The emergency brake valve ensures
braking of the rear wheels via the
spring brake if the rear circuit is
depressurised.
