Operational Test
- Block the wheels.
- Apply the parking brake.
- Start the engine. Charge the air system to the air compressor
governor cutout point.
- Stop the engine.
- Verify that the two-speed rear axle is operating properly.
5.1. | Verify that the two-speed rear axle promptly switches to the LOW
range when the two-speed rear axle shift control valve lever is switched
to LOW. |
5.2. | If the two-speed rear axle shift motor is sluggish, switch the
two-speed rear axle shift control valve lever to LOW. Verify that air vents
through the exhaust port of the two-speed rear axle shift quick release
valve. |

Air Leakage Test
- Block the wheels.
- Apply the parking brake.
- Start the engine. Charge the air system to the air compressor
governor cutout point.
- Stop the engine.
- Shift the two-speed rear axle shift control valve lever to HIGH.
- Inspect the two-speed rear axle shift quick release valve exhaust
port for air leakage. Air leakage less than a 25.4 mm (1.0 in)
bubble in 3 seconds is acceptable.
- If the air leakage is too much, repair or replace the two-speed
rear axle shift quick release valve.
- Inspect the upper and lower valve body for air leakage. Air leakage
is not allowed. If any bubbles appear, repair or replace the two-speed rear axle
shift quick release valve.
