SERVICE SIDE – MANUAL LEAK DOWN TEST
1. Press Air Control rocker Switch to the right Service position (located on upper panel).
Turn power switch to desired the power source.
2. Turn the Service Side (blue) ball valve (Fig. 7-E) to the Open position.
3. Once the Service Side (Fig. 7-F) gauge reflects the desired pressure, then turn the
ball valve to the Closed position to begin leak down test.
4. Note any PSI drop after stabilization of pressure.
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. 7-E) and begin to look for the leak by inspecting air system if an
unacceptable air pressure loss is observed.
TESTING WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control can be used to cycle air on and off to the Service Side by depress-
ing 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 oper-
ating 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 oth-
ers in the vicinity, extreme caution should be used to avoid injury or death. Do not
put yourself in harm’s way.
