It combines a standard relay valve (lower section) with a proportioning valve (upper section) to automatically reduce air pressure to the rear brakes when the tractor is operating without a trailer (bobtail mode). By lowering rear brake force, it prevents wheel lockup and improves stability and control during solo tractor operation. The valve opens at a crack pressure of 4.0 PSI and is replaced when it fails to properly modulate pressure, causing uneven braking or rear wheel lockup while bobtailing.
