Provided that we can see clearly that the process of operation with Jake brake is in general fully automatic. Everything that the truck driver would have to do in order to activate the Jake brake is to:
- Switch;
- Clutch, and
- Throttle;
Thereupon, the activation of the Jake brake mainly depends on the free flow of the engine, and in that manner the truck driver should put his foot off the clutch and the throttle. When the driver does that the brake will be automatically activated. Later-on if the truck driver wants to deactivate the Jake brake then he should only apply pressure to the throttle.
Moreover, there are some trucks that are using automatic transmissions that is to say – truck drivers can activate the Jake brake in the same way as I have described previously, the only difference can be seen in the deactivation process. The deactivation process of Jake brakes in case of automatic transmission trucks can be performed by pressing the pressure-sensing switch.
In brief this is how the process of operation with the Jake brakes takes place.
