TM 5-2420-230-24-1
c. Secondary System.
NOTE
Unlike a conventional split system, the brakes on all four wheels will operate.
The secondary system will operate if air pressure is lost in the primary system. The modulating valve will sense the loss
of pressure in the primary system and the foot pedal will then modulate the release of air from the spring brake chamber.
As the air pressure decreases, the spring brake chambers will operate under spring pressure, progressively applying the
brakes.
