What should be done at the end of the day to maintain the air brake system?

Fill air tanks with more air
Check brake fluid levels
Manually drain the air tanks
Inspect all gauges

The correct answer is: Manually drain the air tanks

At the end of the day, manually draining the air tanks is essential for maintaining the air brake system. This process helps remove accumulated moisture from the air tanks, which can otherwise lead to corrosion and freezing during colder temperatures. Moisture in the air brakes can also affect their overall performance and reliability, potentially compromising safety. Regularly draining the air tanks is a preventive maintenance measure that ensures the air brake system operates efficiently and decreases the risk of malfunction. The correct choice emphasizes the importance of keeping the air brake system in optimal condition to ensure safe vehicular operation. Other maintenance activities, such as checking brake fluid levels or inspecting gauges, are important but do not directly address the specific needs of the air brake system in relation to moisture management.
