True or false: There is no need to bleed the air tanks on units equipped with air dryers.

The assertion is false because, regardless of whether a unit is equipped with air dryers, it is still necessary to bleed the air tanks periodically. Air dryers are designed to remove moisture from the air system, helping to prevent ice and corrosion in the system, but they do not eliminate the need for proper maintenance practices like bleeding air tanks.

Bleeding the air tanks is essential to remove any moisture that may still accumulate or escape the dryer’s capabilities. Moisture can lead to various operational issues, including potential freezing in cold weather, which can compromise the function of air-operated mechanisms. This practice is a critical part of ensuring the air system operates smoothly and reliably, demonstrating the importance of routine maintenance irrespective of additional systems in place.
