“Next I will make sure there is no excessing air leakage. This is done by releasing the Parking Brake and applying the Service Brake, which is held throughout the test. After an initial loss of air the gauges will stabilize. This is when I will begin to time for one minute. There can be no more than three (3) psi lost.”
