Brakemaster Brake air line connection location ?

[diveman52]

I'm trying to figure out where to tie into the Pneumatic break lines for my Roadmaster Breakmaster break system. Any help would be much appreciated.

SAFETY FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!! chock the tires. Release the park brake. There are two lines going to the rear brake cans. Dissconnect the lower line,there won't be any pressure in the lines. Now have your helper gently push the brake pedal. If air comes out of the line, then that's the correct line. If no air comes out, re connect that line and try the same test on the upper line. Remember, the park brake must be released(pushed in) and there needs to be air in the brake tanks.Please be careful, and NEVER TRUST THE HYDRAULIC JACKS!!! Use jack stands. When making your hose connection, make sure your work is done correctly, these are yor brakes!!!!! Good luck.

Oop,s I missed,...........the park brake should not be released, leave it engaged, or pulled out.Also, on coaches with air-over-hydraulic brakes, this does not apply.
