Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
(1) Every motor vehicle, if used to tow a
					trailer equipped with brakes, shall be equipped with means for providing that
					in case of breakaway of such trailer the service brakes of the towing vehicle
					will be sufficiently operative to stop the towing vehicle.
(2) Every truck or truck tractor equipped
					with air brakes, when used for towing other vehicles equipped with air brakes,
					shall be equipped with two means of activating the emergency features of the
					trailer brakes. One of these means shall operate automatically in the event of
					reduction of the towing vehicle air supply to a fixed pressure which shall not
					be lower than 20 pounds per square inch nor higher than 45 pounds per square
					inch. The other means shall be a manually-controlled device readily operable by
					a person seated in the driving seat. Its emergency position or method of
					operation shall be clearly indicated. In no instance may the manual means be so
					arranged as to permit its use to prevent operation of the automatic means. The
					automatic and manual means required by this section may be, but are not
					required to be, separate.
(3) Every
					truck tractor and truck when used for towing other vehicles equipped with
					vacuum brakes shall have, in addition to the single control required to operate
					all brakes of the combination, a second manual-control device which can be used
					to operate the brakes on the towed vehicle in emergencies. Such second control
					shall be independent of brake air, hydraulic and other pressure, and
					independent of other controls, unless the braking system be so arranged that
					failure of the pressure on which the second control depends will cause the
					towed vehicle's brakes to be applied automatically. The second control is not
					required by this rule to provide modulated or graduated braking.
(4) Every trailer required to be equipped
					with brakes shall be equipped with brakes of such character as to be applied
					automatically and promptly upon breakaway from the towing vehicle, and means
					shall be provided to maintain application of the brakes on the trailer in such
					case for at least fifteen minutes.
(5) Air brake systems installed on towed
					vehicles shall be so designed, by the use of "no-bleed-back" relay emergency
					valves or equivalent devices, that the supply reservoir used to provide air for
					brakes shall be safeguarded against backflow of air to the towing vehicle upon
					reduction of the towing vehicle air pressure.
