Introducing Brake Safe® …. The Visual Brake Stroke Indicator System 1

Brake Safe® is a visual brake stroke indicator that shows brake stroke status without the need to crawl under the equipment. Identifies brakes that are out-of- adjustment or approaching the adjustment limit Detects non-activating brake chambers Indentifies brakes that have failed to release Indicates weak or broken parking brake springs ® 2

Brake Safe® eliminates the number one fleet brake problem: OUT-OF-ADJUSTMENT BRAKES OPERATION AIR BRAKE - SEPTEMBER 8-14, 2013 - CANADA & USA OPERATION AIR BRAKE - SEPTEMBER 8-14, 2013 - CANADA & USA OPERATION AIR BRAKE - SEPTEMBER 11-17, 2011 - CANADA & USA Brake defects accounted for 59% of out-of-service violations. Brake adjustment defects were the leading cause of brake related out-of -service violations (56% of all brake defects). Vehicles equipped with Automatic slack adjusters accounted for 80% of out-of adjustment violations 3

The Importance of Brake Adjustment ® Proper Brake Adjustment Means Shorter Stopping Distance 4

Brake Safe® Benefits Reduced Maintenance Costs Fewer unnecessary brake adjustments Pre-empt costly repairs by identifying existing and potential brake repairs Assists balanced braking reducing uneven brake and tire wear. ® 5

Brake Safe® Benefits Improved Fleet Productivity Less driver time on brake pre-trip inspection Less downtime from out- of- service infractions Reduced PM time spent on foundation brake system Equipment is on the road quicker with less downtime in shop ® 6

Brake Safe® Benefits Improved Fleet Safety Ensure maximum braking capability in normal or emergency situations Eliminate roadside infractions and resulting fines No loss of brake related demerit points Increase operator confidence in safety and reliability of fleet equipment Demonstrate safety commitment to regulatory and inspection agencies 7

Brake Safe® Features Brake stroke status shown at each wheel-end position Easy to see pre-measured indicator units ensure adjustment accuracy Clevis pin has tooled pointer for permanent visibility Indicator Unit Clevis Pin 8

® Brake Safe® Features Brackets & Indicator units are fabricated in “one piece” for superior strength High quality steel fabrication with corrosion resistant zinc plating for extended operational life Steel Fabrication Zinc Plating “One piece” indicator unit 9

® Brake Safe® Features 2 universal formats: one for trucks and one for trailers Trailer Truck 10

® Brake Safe® Features Highly visible Brake Safe® identification sticker. Installs in minutes with regular shop tools. 11

Brake Safe® Features ® Pre-measured indicator units are set to DOT specifications of 1.75”, 2.00” or 2.50” Replacement clevis pin and clamp pin have tooled point for permanent visibility and accuracy 12

How Does Brake Safe® Work? The Brake Safe® tooled clevis pin with the red pointer cover is inserted into into the slack adjuster yoke replacing the existing clevis pin. Tooled clevis pin 13

How Does Brake Safe® Work? The Pre-measured reference unit with the yellow pin covers is attached to the steel, zinc plated mounting bracket. Pre-measured reference unit Mounting bracket 14

How Does Brake Safe® Work? The steel bracket with the pre-measured reference unit is mounted on the brake chamber using the existing mounting stud. Bracket with reference unit Brake chamber mounting stud 15

How Does Brake Safe® Work? With the brakes released, the pre-measured reference unit is moved along the bracket slot to align with the tooled clevis pin pointer. The clevis pin pointer is aligned center to center with the 1st pin of the indicator unit. Bracket slot 1st pin of pre-measured reference unit Clevis pin pointer 16

How Does Brake Safe® Work? 2nd pin 1st pin Brakes are applied with 90- 100 psi and the push rod moves the clevis pin from the 1st pin of the pre-measured indicator unit towards 2nd pin. Brakes are in-adjustment as long as the clevis pin pointer does not pass the indicator unit’s 2nd pin. Brakes are out-of adjustment when the clevis pin pointer passes the indicator unit’s 2nd pin. Power Unit 2nd pin 1st pin Power Unit 17

Brake Safe® will save your fleet time and money! Reduced Maintenance Costs No unnecessary brake adjustments Pre-empt costly repairs Balanced braking Improved Productivity Mechanics Drivers Equipment Improved Fleet Safety Eliminate roadside detention Avoid costly inspection fines ® 18
