When working in the garge/yard/cab I have been known to bypass even my saftey belt gear.JimK

p.s. Last week I hammered on something, probably a screw driver, without gloves, eye OR even hearing protection.

Last night I used a sawzall to cut through interior flanges in inside a 25"x18"x150" space with no gloves, eye, or ear protection, and it was dark so I lined up the blade to the mark feeling by hand by hand before starting the cut.

I recall posting a thread about safety and how it only takes a fraction of a second to really hurt yourself. Uh oh....seeing some unhealthy practices happening! :shock:

Hi FreightTrain,
The buzzer cutoff is fail safe. If the relay does not operate, the buzzer
will keep on buzzing. I do have the dash warning light seperate from the buzzer (in parallel) so if one fails , the other will get my attention of a low air problem. I do not like surprises either.
Will,
Irwindale was a good event.

That's nothing. This one time, at band camp...

Old post about that buzzer. I found and repaired truck air leaks. Truck not running, pressurized it backwards. Used enough different quick disconnects to hook it up multiple ways, various sources. Works good. Could be for sale, or just copy it.

On my old deuce while I had it, the buzzer going off meant I had let the truck warm up enough and it was ready to hit the road on a cold day. On a warm day when it went off, it meant look over at the neighbors house as we are well underway. It never bothered me. My funniest thoughts about the low air pressure buzzer stem from people who forget to completely turn their Deuces off at a Military Vehicle Rally in my state. A truck will just be sitting there peacefully and then start Buzzing away. I'd reached in quite a few and turned the ignition switch off. Hope I didn't disrupt anyone's timer!
