The Leak Test The purpose of a leak test is to make sure the unit is airtight.
To perform a leak test, use the leak test fixture from the table on
page 10. If the tool is not available, the gearbox must be sealed to
perform the test. This can be accomplished by assembling the
sealed input device onto the gearbox at the input end and replace
one of the oil plugs with an air chuck. DO NOT EXCEED 10 PSI
PRESSURE DURING THE LEAK TEST. Higher pressure will create
a false sealing effect in assemblies with lip-seals. The unit has a
leak if the pressure gauge reading on your leak check fitting starts
to fall after the gearbox has been pressurized and allowed to
equalize. Leaks will most likely occur at the pipe plugs, the main
seal or wherever o-rings or gaskets are located. The exact location
of a leak can usually be detected by brushing a soap and water
solution around the main seal and where the o-rings or gaskets
meet on the exterior of the unit and then checking for air bubbles. If
a leak is detected in a seal, o-ring or gasket, the part must be
replaced and the unit rechecked. Leak test at 10 psi for 20 minutes.
