Leak Checking
Ensure all road wheels are chocked. Detach tube
(23) from elbow (22) at the head (19). Apply a soap
solution liberally to the service chamber vents, push
rod opening, the open end of tube (23), clamp ring (8)
and open elbow (22).
Apply full air pressure in turn to the service and
spring brake chambers. Watch closely for any soap
bubbles indicating air leakage. With service chamber
air applied no leakage is permitted at the service
chamber vents, push rod opening or tube end. Only
slight frothing is permitted at the clamp ring. With
spring chamber air applied, any leakage at the open
elbow (22) must not exceed a 25 mm (1 inch)
diameter soap bubble in 10 seconds.
