ADDITIONAL TESTING PROCEDURES
There are many safety and operational functions to test on a trailer, but there are
a few which are widely viewed as VERY important. With this tester, these tests can
be performed without the truck or tractor, quickly, accurately, and in most cases,
with only one person. Below are a few common system checks that can be
performed using the MUTT
® .
• Leak Down Testing on both Service Side and Emergency Side.
• One man leak and shake testing throughout the trailer.
• Push rod travel measurements.
• Slacker adjustment reading specific to manufacturer’s specs on
brake chamber and proper operation notes.
• Even brake pressure activation.
• One man wheel off ground testing for brake strength and operation.
• Accessing ABS codes.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
• Switch power off, remove all power cables, and disconnect battery
before cleaning.
• Wipe surfaces down with a well-wrung, soft, damp cloth.
• Diluted dishwashing liquid or similar substance can be used in the dampened
cloth if necessary.
• Dielectric grease can be used in 7-way round socket and cable, as well as battery
clamps, to prevent corrosion.
• Disconnect and remove battery when placing the MUTT
® into long-term storage.
• Store in a cool dry area.
