– Governor check:
Governor unloads the Compressor
(needles stop climbing, steady pressure) (105-135 psi)
– Release Spring Brakes – (push Tractor Button IN)
– Fan Brakes down ~20 psi (no lower than 80 psi)
– Governor check:
Governor reloads the Compressor (air pressure starts climbing)
– Low air warning: fan brakes until warning Devices come on
(Confirm on at 60 psi or above)
– Fan Brakes until both needles are below 50 psi
– Set RPM between 1,000 to 1,200
– Time – building 50 to 90 psi (Confirm it took less than 3 min.)
– Release Spring Brakes – (push Tractor Button IN)
– Build air until the Governor Unloads the Compressor at 105-135 psi

– Shut off the Truck
– If electric gauges – Ignition may need to be in the ON position
– Make a full brake application for 1 minute (time after the gauges settle)
