Water Trap Bleed
Usually located on the right-hand side truck frame, near mid-section, the water trap (see Figure 4-26)
must be drained at the end of every working day. Just slacken off both water trap bleed screws under
the bowls and catch the water and oil that flow out with a rag. The water trap helps keep moisture out
of the air system.
Caution! Be very careful when climbing up on the top of the pod. Always wear your safety harness.
