SERVICE MANUALWhen the brake valve is released, air pressure actingabove piston is removed. Air pressure in cavity "B"continues to move the piston upward and opens theexhaust valve seat. Air pressure from service brakechambers returns through the delivery ports (notillustrated in Fig. 2) into cavity "B" and exhausts throughmodulation tube passage and out exhaust port.MAINTENANCEOnce each year or every 160,000 km (100,000 miles)remove the relay quick release valve, disassemble it andclean all parts. It is recommended that all rubber partsbe replaced.SERVICE CHECKSLeakage TestsUse an air pressure source with an in-line shut-off valve,gauge and connection. A second air source connectionwill also be required with a shut-off.Install a pipe plug in one delivery port and one reservoirport. Connect air source with gauge to control port.Open manual valve slowly to build up 689 - 861 kPa (100- 125 psi) to control port and shut manual valve. No airleakage is permissible through cover and body castingsurfaces, around capscrews or joined flanges. No airleakage is permissible that is passing through valve andevident at reservoir port or out exhaust port or aroundthe snap ring. Slowly disconnect air line to release airpressure from control port.Connect air source to reservoir port and open manualvalve slowly to build up 689 - 861 kPa (100 - 125 psi)pressure. Shut off manual valve. No air leakage ispermissible through casting surfaces or at exhaust portor around snap ring area.Operation TestOpen manual valve to build up 689 - 681 kPa (100 - 125psi) pressure at reservoir port. Connect air line withgauge to control port. Open shut-off valve to allow 69 -103 kPa (10 - 15 psi) to control port and close valve.Delivery port pressure indicated will be within +21 kPa (3psi) of that shown at control port. Permissible leakage atexhaust port is a 25 mm (3") soap bubble in 3 seconds.Open shut-off valve to allow 655 - 689 kPa (95 - 100 psi)to control port and close valve. Repeat observation ofdelivery port pressure and exhaust port leakage.Delivery port pressure should be 696 - 765 kPa (101 -111 psi). Permissible leakage at exhaust port is a 25mm (3") soap bubble in 3 seconds. If relay quick releasewill not perform as described, it should either be replacedor repaired.REMOVE1.Disconnect air lines from relay valve.2.Remove mounting bolts and remove valve.INSTALL1.Mount relay valve with mounting bolts andlockwashers with exhaust port pointing down.2.Connect air lines.3.Make sure exhaust port is not restricted.4.Make sure new or rebuilt valve is tested asoutlined in SERVICE CHECKS prior toinstallation.DISASSEMBLYAfter the relay valve is removed from vehicle, inspect itfor damage. If valve body is fractured replace completevalve. Mark exterior of valve cover and body foralignment.1.Remove four cover capscrews.2.Remove valve cover, piston assembly and pistonspring, if equipped, from valve body.3.Remove retaining ring from valve body, using asnap ring pliers. Then remove washer, exhaustvalve body spring and modulation tube fromvalve body.4.Remove O-ring seal from valve body.5.Remove capscrew exhaust valve seal and pistonO-ring seal from piston.6.Remove screw, washer and exhaust portdiaphragm from exhaust valve body.7.Remove O-ring seal, inlet seal retainer and inletvalve seal from modulation tube.8.Remove O-ring seal from valve cover.CLEANING AND INSPECTIONWash all parts in clean mineral spirits or equivalent anddry. Castings must be free of nicks or burrs. All O-ringsurfaces A rust be smooth, round and free of deep -scratches, dents or gouges. There should be noevidence of metal-to-metal galling of aluminum surfaces.Valve body flanges, threads and snap ring groove shouldnot be distorted. Valve body seat must be flat andsmooth, with no cracks or nicks.Examine modulation tube. Flange for valve seal mustnot be dented or bent. Seal at end of tube must be flatand smooth with no dents or distortion.CTS -4079-CHAPTER VI - Page 3
