2-47. GENERAL.
The M969A2 semitrailer brakes are air-operated, cam-type brakes. Two brake-actuating camshafts, slack adjusters,
and brake airchambers are assembled on each axle. When the brake is actuated air is applied to the brake chambers
and the diaphragm rod moves the slack adjusters, rotating the brake camshaft against the two rollers on the
brakeshoes. This action forces the brakeshoes against the brakedrum, causing friction to slow or stop the vehicle.
