2.14 EMERGENCY FILLING/TEST CONNECTION
In various places in the brake system there are
test connections for carrying out inspections and
adjustments. A pipe leads from point 24 of the
air dryer to the rear left of the cab. There is a
test connection here that can be used as an
emergency filling/tyre pump connection.
Note:
With a leaf-sprung front axle this test connection
is on point 11 of the air dryer.
If a pipe is connected to the test connection,
screwing in the union will lift the spring-loaded
valve (A) from its seat, opening the supply. If the
union is removed, the valve is pushed onto its
seat by spring B, closing the supply.
