1.21 INSPECTION FOR AIR-TIGHTNESS
Air-tightness
If the brake system of a vehicle has been
charged to the maximum pressure, it should
generally be possible to drive the vehicle away
after a period of 16 hours of uninterrupted
standstill, without having to first charge the
brake system to sufficient operating pressure.
This comes down to a maximum pressure drop
of approx. 0.4 bar per hour at a normal system
pressure.
Note:
Auxiliary consumers and accessories must only
be connected to circuit 4.
