excessive, it is recommended that it be replaced.
a.
Chock the wheels and fully charge the air system.
b.
With the PARK BRAKE control pulled out (exhaust position), coat the exhaust port and plunger stem with a
soap solution. A 1 in. (254 cm) bubble in five seconds is permitted. There should be no leakage between the
upper and lower body.
