When the mission is completed, as soon as
practicable,
repair using standard maintenance procedures.
11-17. QUICK-RELEASE VALVE FAILURE
General Information:
The quick-release valve is provided to reduce the time required to release the air
pressure from the brake chambers.
Quick-release valve can have a multitude of failures. Availability of replacement
parts may become a problem that can be solved only by removal from other damaged
equipment.
There are two valve failures that would cause the vehicle to be inoperable. One
would be when the valve exhausts all the time, and the second would be when the
valve will not exhaust.
Limitations:
o Reduced braking ability
o Reduced speed
Personnel/Time Required:
o 2 soldiers
o 15 to 60 minutes
Materials/Tools:
