What is the low pressure warning threshold in the service air tank?

The low pressure warning threshold in the service air tank is set at 60 PSI. This threshold is crucial for alerting the driver to potential issues within the air brake system. When the pressure falls to this level, it signals that the system may not maintain sufficient pressure to ensure safe braking performance. The air brake system relies on compressed air to function effectively, and if the pressure drops too low, it could compromise braking ability, leading to unsafe driving conditions.

Understanding this threshold is essential for drivers to be vigilant about their vehicle's braking system and to take necessary actions to prevent any safety hazards caused by low air pressure.
