TESTING THE BENDIX® AD-RPAIR DRYER

Before placing the vehicle in service, perform the following tests:

1.Close all reservoir drain cocks.

2.Build up system pressure to governor cut-out and note that the Bendix® AD-RPair dryer purges with an audible escape of air.

3.Apply and release the service brakes to reduce system air pressure to governor cut-in. Note that the system once again builds to full pressure and is followed by a purge at the AD-RP air dryer exhaust.

4.It is recommended that the following items be tested for leakage to ensure that the AD-RP air dryer will not cycle excessively.

(A)Total air system leakage (See Bendix publication BW5057 "Air Brake Handbook.")

(B)Compressor unloader mechanism

(C)Governor

(D)Drain cock and safety valve in the fi rst (supply) reservoir

(E)All air connections leading to and from the fi rst (supply) reservoir; and the

(F)Delivery check valve.
