§ 484D.280. Warning signals and devices for certain buses, trucks and truck-tractors
1. Every bus, truck or truck-tractor using compressed air for the operation of its
own brakes or the brakes on any towed vehicle shall be provided with a warning signal,
other than a pressure gauge, readily audible or visible to the driver, which will
operate at any time the air reservoir pressure of the vehicle is below 50 percent
of the air compressor governor cutout pressure. In addition, each such vehicle shall be equipped with a pressure gauge visible to
the driver, which indicates in pounds per square inch the pressure available for braking. 2. Every truck-tractor and truck used for towing a vehicle equipped with vacuum-operated
brakes and every truck with three or more axles using vacuum in the operation of its
brakes, except those in driveaway or towaway operations, shall be equipped with a
warning signal, other than a gauge indicating vacuum, readily audible or visible to
the driver, which will operate at any time the vacuum in the vehicle's supply reservoir
or reserve capacity is less than 8 inches of mercury. 3. When a vehicle required to be equipped with a warning device is equipped with both
air and vacuum power for the operation of its own brakes or the brakes on a towed
vehicle, the warning devices may be, but are not required to be, combined into a single
device which will serve both purposes. A gauge or gauges indicating pressure or vacuum shall not be deemed to be an adequate
means of satisfying this requirement.
