Time Delay

  1. Disconnect overtravel lever from link. Disconnect air lines at shock absorbers and intake ports. Connect test gauge to intake valve port and open air pressure (95 psi). Move overtravel lever approximately one inch down from neutral position, as measured from end of lever and hold for 15-20 seconds. Now quickly move lever upward two inches and note time before air starts to escape from shock absorber port. Delay should be 4-22 seconds.
  2. Proceed with check to determine air exhaust time delay. Remove test gauge and plug intake port. Connect test gauge to shock absorber and open air pressure (95 psi). Move overtravel lever approximately one inch up from neutral position as measured from end of lever and hold for 15-20 seconds. Quickly move lever down two inches, and note time before air starts to escape from exhaust port. Delay should be 4-22 seconds. If either delay is not within specifications, replace leveling control valve.
