Bench Testing the Air Locker
To bench test the
Air Locker
; when 620kPa [90 PSI] shop air is
applied to the seal housing tube, the
Air Locker
should engage.
Check all fittings and the seal housing for air leaks.
Rotate the differential carrier by turning the pinion flange whilst
applying air pressure.
NOTE : An accurate way to test for air leaks is to fit a shut-off
valve to an air pressure gauge.
(ARB part # ALTG01 shown in Fig.14.).
Once 620 KPA [90 PSI] is reached close the valve,
disconnect the air hose, and watch to see if there is any
drop in pressure. If so, this will indicate an air leak.
Figure 14.
If a leak is found to be present, spray a soap and water mixture
onto the bulkhead air fitting. Bubbles should appear at any leak
points.
NOTE : Do not spray this soapy mixture inside the differential
.
Check that leaky fittings have been adequately tightened.
Disassemble, clean threads, and reapply thread sealant if leaking
persists.
If a leak is found at the seal housing, remove the
Air Locker
and
carefully remove the seal housing assembly and examine the O-
rings. Be very careful with the O-rings and check for defects,
damage, wear, or presence of foreign material in the O-ring
grooves. Replace if necessary.
