OPERATIONAL CHECKS

After repairs are completed and air lines are re con nect ed,
start the engine, build-up pressure to 100 psi, and shut off
the engine.  Check for air leaks at the inlet and outlet of the
dryer.  Correct any leakage problem.  Restar t the engine and
build-up pressure to cut-out pressure.  At cut-out pressure
the dryer purge valve opens and im me di ate ly expels a large
volume of air, followed by a slow flow of air lasting
approximately thirty seconds.  Check for leakage to assure
that the

When working on air system com po nents the following 
pre cau tions should be ob served.

1. Stop engine when working under a vehicle. Always block
the ve hi cle wheels to prevent a fore or aft roll. Bleeding off
system pres sure may cause the vehicle to roll.  K eep hands
away from brake chamber push rods and brake adjusters;
they may apply as system pressure drops.          

2. Never connect or disconnect a hose or line containing air
pres sure.  It may whip as air escapes.  Nev er remove a
component or a pipe plug unless you are cer tain all sys tem
air pressure has been exhausted.

3. Never exceed recommended working air pressure and
al ways wear safety glasses when working with air pressure.
Nev er look directly into component por ts or direct a
pressurized air flow at any one.

4. Never attempt to disassemble a component until you have
read and understood all rec om mend ed procedures.  Some
components con tain powerful springs and injury can result if
not prop er ly disassembled. Use only proper tools and observe
all precautions per tain ing to the use of those tools.

    ambient temperature is <45 ± 8°F, disconnect the battery or 

    make sure the ignition switch is in OF F position.

2.   Remove old heater assembly and discard.

operational check is required, a means must be available to reduce

the temperature of the heater thermostat to below 45 ± 8°F .

1.   After installation of the heater is completed, apply ice or other 

    cold source to the heater plastic body area to lower the 

    temperature of the thermostat.

2.  Connect a continuity meter or a similar device to the heater leads.
