Inspect lines and hoses for air leaks. a. If air leaks are found, repair as required (para. 8-15). b. If no leaks are found, perform test 1. Test 1. Check front axle engagement air cylinder supply line (1) pressure. Step 1. Stop engine and open all draincocks (TM 9-2320-361-10) until brake system air pressure is vented. Step 2.

If old governor has been replaced with new governor, air pressure may exceed maximum pressure reading on instrument panel gage. If reading is zero, replace front wheel drive lock-in switch (para. 6-4). If reading is lower than instrument panel gage, and air can be heard escaping from transfer case vent, notify your supervisor. Step 9. If air system is operating properly, notify your supervisor. 2-72
