Hi all,
I had my set all hooked up last night, and noticed that the air actuated rod that slides foward against the pintle hook wouldn't energize. I checked all my lines, and the valve button on the dolly, and everything seemed in order.
I was about to break the set apart and go find another dolly, when a veteren driver came walking by.
He told me that the diaphrams sometimes go bad, and that I could just drive it that way. I really didn't feel comfortable doing that.
Then, he did something using the blue button on the dash (for checking trailer brakes), and it energized. He was kind of in a hurry, and didn't really have time to explain what it was that he did.
Not all of our tractors have this blue button either.
Can someone explain what he did, and what is the proper procedure?
This is the first time I've encountered this.
Thanks in advance!
