Check rubberplunger boot for cracks, holes or deterioration andreplace if required. Check mounting plate for integrity.Free pedal travel should be checked as follows. Be sureplunger is in contact with spring seat. The stop buttonshould be adjusted so that the roller and plunger justcontact. Clean exhaust port.Every Year or 160,000 km (100,000 Miles)Disassemble brake valve; clean and inspect all parts.Install new parts where they are found to be worn ordamaged.SERVICE CHECKSOperationsCheck delivery pressure of both primary andsecondary systems using test gauges known to beaccurate. Depress pedal or treadle to several positionsbetween the fully released and fully applied positions andcheck the delivered pressure on the test gauges to seethat it varies proportionately with the movement of thebrake pedal.After a full application is released, the reading on testgauges should fall off to zero promptly. It should benoted that the primary system delivery pressure will beabout 14 kPa (2 psi) greater than the secondary systemdelivery pressure with both supply reservoirs at the samepressure. This is normal for these valves.IMPORTANTA change in vehicle brakingcharacteristics or a low pressurewarning may indicate a malfunction inone or the other brake systems and,although vehicle should not be operateduntil necessary repairs have been madeand both braking systems, includingpneumatic and mechanical devices, areoperating normally. Always checkvehicle brakes after performing brakework and before returning the vehicle toservice.Leakage TestMake and hold a high pressure application. Check theexhaust port for leakage. Using a soap solution , a 25mm (1") soap bubble in 3 seconds is permitted.If the brake valve does not function as described, thevalve should either be replaced or repaired.REMOVE1.Apply parking brake or block wheels to preventvehicle from moving.2.Drain all air from all reservoirs.3.Disconnect all supply and delivery lines at brakevalve. Mark all air lines in relation to valve toassist reconnecting lines.CTS-4079 - CHAPTERPRITNEDPage 6
