Amtran service manual - brakes

[ewo1]

So when I bought my bus I was gifted an AMTRAN service manual by the shop manager who said he didn't need it anymore...what a gift!

I have previously posted alot of AMTRAN wiring diagrams in another thread -> https://www.skoolie.net/forums/f49/a...ams-25055.html

In this thread I am starting out by uploading the INTERNATIONAL/AMTRAN Braking system

As time goes by I will continue to scan the manual and share.


There are 19 files I will be uploading right now.
They are;

1. Hydraulic caliper disc
2. Hydromax- Booster and master cyclinder
3. Air brakes chapter 1 - GOVERNOR
4. Chapter 2 - Pressure gauges, stop light stitch
5. Chapter 3- Valves for check protection, pressure
6. Chapter 4 Brake Valve
7. Chapter 5 - Quick Release valve
8. Chapter 6 - Inversion valve
9. Chapter 7 - Spring brake control valve

It's funny, quite a number of views but your the only one who thinks this stuff is important enough to save.
This info will pretty much be about the same along all international chassis so you would think...ah...who cares about braking systems.... LOL...

And I made sure to download every one of those. Came in very handy when reducing the size of my wiring harness from a 2" loom to about 1". I've pulled several thousand feet of conductors out.
THANK YOU SIR

Thank you for this enormously useful post.

Thanks for posting this Ewo1, this is good stuff.

What years does this manual cover? I note your bus is a '99 so if that's the year of the manual I'll have to be careful using it for my '04.

When I have a chance I'll have to have a look at some of the wiring and see if what I have matches the wiring diagram in your manual. That should be a pretty good test.

Some of the subject chapter are dated copyright 1991 so I guess it should be good from about 1990 to at least 2000 maybe 2004?

Most of the stuff should be somewhat generic or I hate to say "Standard" when it comes to the axles and brakes....

For wiring I feel that too is somewhat the same thru ought those years. Best way to find out is to take a look at the "Master Wire List", it should be posted in the Amtran RE wiring diagram thread.

All the wires in the international busses should be 1) color coded and 2) have a number imprinted on them.
With the master wire list you can verify the color, number and wire function. It really makes life a whole lot easier !

I also have an '07 bus with a DT466 that I am going to pull out and rebuild. I feel confident that the wiring scheme should just about be the same as in my '99 bus. Sure there might be 1 or 2 things different but the majority should be good!

This manual should be also good for Genesis busses too!

Here is an interesting chapter, talks about the frame.
Alot of times people want to know, can I cut, drill or weld the frame?

This section will help you understand a bit better.

FRAME

1. Introduction
2. General Frame Recommendations
3. Identification of Frame Rail Material
4. Frame Damage
5. WELDING and REINFORCEMENT
6. CORROSION
7. Frame Alignment
8. Repair and Reinforcement recommended Procedures
9. Bolt and Torque info
10. Drilling
11. Specifications-bolt torque

Thanks for doing this!

I have a 2002 AmTran named Periwinkle. She's 28' with a handicap lift.

Baghera, my black kitty, was supervising and wanted to know why I stopped painting. LOL

Wow, what a treasure trove of information. THANK YOU!!! I have a 1994 AmTran Genesis and this is hugely helpful.

I will eventually have to replace the radiator and that looks like a super fun job (not), as I think a lot of the front face has to come off first.
