4. TO FIND STICKY OR BAD BRAKE SERVOS: To check the mechanical servo

operation, slowly turn the PSI up and note the point at which both servos engage.
Then reduce PSI and note the point at which the servos release. They should
engage and release together at the same time.

To check for a leaking servo, you can charge Service Side and close ball valve
on the Emergency Side. There should be no increase in PSI on the Emergency
Side. Then reverse procedure and charge the Emergency Side and close ball
valve on the Service Side. No air should leak into the Service Side.
NOTE: Be certain to CHOCK ALL TRAILER WHEELS before conducting
trailer testing.
