a. Removal.
To avoid possible fatal injuries, do not under any circumstances attempt to dismantle the spring
brake chambers on the vehicle.
Ensure air pressure is drained to 0 psi (0 kPa) before taking off any air components. If pressure is
not released, components could blow off and harm personnel. The IHMEE air system is pressurized

embolisms and/or debris in eyes can occur from released pressure. Failure to comply may result in
injury or death to personnel.
