Air leak check

A

Chock the wheels.

Before you start this exercise, you must tell the examiner what the correct air leakage rate is for the type of vehicle you are testing in. Failure to do so will result in automatic disqualification at conclusion of Air Brake Test. “The air leakage rate for this vehicle is no more that 3 psi loss in one minute.”
