The hazard
On some street sweepers built on UD Truck chassis, the air brake system may not comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 121- Air Brake Systems. During the conversion into a street sweeper, the primary and secondary circuits may have been tied together and may no longer be isolated. This would cause a loss of both the front and rear service brakes in the event of an air leak in either service brake circuit, which could result in a reduction of braking performance, increased stopping distances, loss of system pressure and/or emergency brake application. Correction: Elgin authorized repair facilities will inspect the air lines and re-route as necessary.
