SERVICE MANUALis between 524 kPa (76 psi) maximum and 441 kPa (64psi) minimum. The contacts will be closed when warninglight or electrical buzzer operates.Leakage TestA small vent hole is provided in the cover of thelow pressure indicator to check the condition of thediaphragm. Cover the vent hole with soap suds or useLeak Detector (SE-2326); if a leak is indicated, it signifiesa ruptured diaphragm. Replace complete assembly.REMOVE1.The ignition switch should be in the "off" position.2.Drain the air from the system.3.Disconnect the electrical connections at the LowPressure Indicator.4.Remove the Indicator from fitting.REINSTALL1.Install indicator in fitting where old indicator wasremoved.2.Connect electrical connections.3.Charge air system and perform Leakage Test.Disassembly and reassembly of Low PressureIndicator is not recommended since it is only serviced asa complete assembly.STOP LIGHT SWITCHDESCRIPTIONThe stop light switch (Fig. 6) is an electro-pneumatic switch which operates in conjunction with thebrake valve and stop lights by completing the electricalcircuit when a brake application of 35 kPa (5 psi) or moreis made.Fig. 6 Stop Light SwitchBoth the primary and secondary brake systemsare equipped with a stop light switch on a straight truck.If a failure should occur in either the primary orsecondary systems,. The system which is functioningproperly will provide stop lights when the brakes areapplied.MAINTENANCEEvery three months or every 40,000 km (25,000miles, check all electrical connections.Every year or 160,000 km (100,000 miles), thestop light switches should be replaced.SERVICE CHECKSOperating Tests1.Both stop light switches must be checkedindependently on a straight truck to be sure bothare functioning. Disconnect one switch.2.Apply brake valve and note that with firstdownward movement of pedal or treadle that thestop lights go on immediately.3.Release brake valve and note that stop lights gooff.4.If lights fail to go on use a test light at stop lightconnections. Test both terminals to determine ifan electrical supply is available at switch; then"bypass" the switch with test light or jumper wire.Lights should go on. If not, a failure in theelectrical circuit is the problem. However, iflights work, replace stop light switch.5.Repeat item 4 to check second light switch.Leakage TestWith brakes applied there should be no airleakage at stop light switch.REMOVE1.Disconnect electrical connections. Be sure tokeep electrical connections from frame, etc.Tape them.2.Remove switch from air fitting.INSTALL1.Install stop light switch in air fitting.2.Install electrical connections.3.After stop light switch is reinstalled, performSERVICE CHECKS.CTS-4079 - CHAPTER U -PRINTED IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICAPage 6
