Recovery of air pressure for brakes in B-doubles and road trains

The air pressure in each air brake reservoir in a B-double or road train must recover to at least 420 kilopascals within 1 minute after 3 full brake applications have been made within a 10 second period if, before the 3 brake applications have been made:

        (a)     the engine is running at maximum speed; and

        (b)     the governor cut-in pressure is no higher than:

            (i)     the pressure specified by the vehicle's manufacturer; or

            (ii)     if there is no manufacturer's specification – 550 kilopascals; and

        (c)     the air pressure in the storage tanks of the vehicle is not under:

            (i)     the average of the maximum and minimum pressures in the operating pressure range specified by the vehicle's manufacturer; or

            (ii)     if there is no manufacturer's specification – 650 kilopascals.
