TESTING WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control can be used to cycle air on and off to the Service Side by
depressing the small button on the remote control.
The remote control allows a technician to operate the Service Side air and actuate
the brakes thereby allowing the inspection and service of the air brake system. When
operating the Service Side via remote, the Emergency Side must be precharged with
the ball valve in the Open position. If the Emergency Side has insufficient pressure,
the Service Side brakes will not actuate.
WARNING: Remember to sufficiently chock/block the wheels of the trailer
before operation to prevent the trailer from rolling. Trailers should always be
parked on a flat/level surface before testing. Before using the remote, please
be aware that trailer brake parts and components can explode, dislodge or
become damaged when air pressure is introduced to the system. For the safety
of the user and others in the vicinity, extreme caution should be used to avoid
injury or death. Do not put yourself in harm’s way.
SERVICE SIDE ACTIVATION VIA REMOTE
1. Push red air control switch to the Emergency Side position.
2. Turn Emergency Side valve to the Open position.
3. Charge Emergency Side with desired air pressure.
4. Turn Service Side valve to the Open position.
5. Move red air control switch to Remote position (The smaller button on the wireless
remote controls the air flow when pressed).
6. Point the remote in the general direction of the MUTT® (Install antenna for
improved range).
7. Press small button once to engage the service air brakes.
8. Press small button again to disengage the brakes.
9. Repeat as necessary.
5. Look for air loss according to your local code or test by noting consistent air drop
over time. If air pressure continues to drop, you can turn air supply back on the
Service Side (Fig. 5-E, Pg. 18) and begin to look for the leak by inspecting air
system if an unacceptable air pressure loss is observed.
