From what I read on your link to the combine forum was they were pulled into a scale in CALIFORNIA and the TRUCK and TRAILER they were hauling a combine on had a brake inspection and 1 brake was out of adjustment.
You only read the top response - Post 16 refers to the 6 pack, and it was in Canada -
#16
@Todd:
We're trained to do a six-pack, and a 4-in-1, here in Canada.
The 4-in-1 is a leak-test. You make a full brake application for 1 minute and watch that you don't loose more than 4psi air pressure.
The six-pack is done right after, and it's basically six brake applications of a minimum of 90psi, to adjust the slack adjusters.
They actually adjust during the application process - not once they're pushed up against the drums...
Just figured I'd put in my $0.02
-ChristianEvidently the rules are NOT the same on both sides of the border. I can't find anything referring to performing a 6-pack in the US other than Bud Light. Again, you Northern folks shouldn't use a Northern term as a means to measure our intelligence on air brakes if no one here has ever heard of it.
