SERVICE MANUALMAINTENANCEEvery 160,000 km (100,000 miles) or every year,remove, disassemble, clean and inspect all parts. Ifsigns or wear or deterioration are found, install newparts. It is recommended all rubber parts be replaced.SERVICE CHECKS Operation TestBlock vehicle and hold by means other than vehiclebrakes. Charge air brake system to governor cut-outpressure.1.Place parking control valve in the "apply"position. Observe that the spring brake actuatorsapply promptly. In the delivery port of theinversion valve install a test gauge known to beaccurate. Place the parking control valve in the"release" position. Observe that the spring brakeactuators release fully.2.With the parking control valve in the "release"position, note the gauge pressure reading(should be approximately the same as gauge oninstrument panel). If the pressure reading isincorrect, the valve must be repaired orreplaced.3.Place the parking control valve in the "apply"position, the gauge reading should drop to zeropromptly. A slow release of pressure couldindicate faulty operation of the single check valve(within the Modulating Valve). At approximately48-241 kpa (7-35 psi) the spring parking brakesshould be fully applied.4.Place the parking control valve in the "release"position. Locate the number one servicereservoir and drain it completely.5.Apply the foot brake valve several times andnote that the pressure reading on the gaugedecreases each time the foot brake valve isapplied. After the foot brake valve has beenapplied several times, pressure on the gauge willdrop to the point where release of the springbrake actuators will no longer occur.Leakage TestWith air system fully charged and parking brakecontrol valve in "release" position, use the Leak DetectorTester around valve cover and exhaust port to detect airleakage. A slight leakage is permitted.If inversion valve does not function as describedabove or leakage is excessive, it is recommended thatthe valve either be replaced or repaired.REMOVE1.Apply parking brakes and drain all air reservoirs.2.Mark or identify all air lines before disconnectingfrom inversion valve. Then disconnect air lines.3.Remove the two mounting bolts from valve andremove valve.INSTALL1.Install inversion valve using the two mountingbolts.2.Connect air lines. Make sure they are installed atthe same ports, 3. Before releasing vehicle forservice, perform SERVICE CHECKS as outlined.DISASSEMBLY (Refer to Fig. 2)1.Remove socket head pipe plug at check valve.2.Remove check valve spring, spring guide andcheck valve.3.Remove two Phillips screws and removeexhaust cover.4.Separate exhaust diaphragm from cover.5.Remove inlet and exhaust valve assembly.6.Remove inlet and exhaust valve cap nut andseparate cap nut O-ring.7.Remove valve stop, valve spring and inlet andexhaust valve.8.Remove four Phillips head screws andlockwashers that secure cover to the body.CAUTIONCover is under a spring load and should be held whileremoving screws to prevent bodily injury.9.Remove cover and three piston springs.10.Remove small piston and small and large O-ring,11.Remove large piston and large and small O-ringfrom it.CTS-4079 - CHAPTER VII - Page6
