Script
“I start by making sure there is no excessive air leakage.”
“This is done by releasing the Parking Brake and applying the Service Brake, which is held throughout the test.”
{apply service brake}
“After an initial loss of air and the gauges stabilize there can then be no more than three (3) psi loss in one minute.”
{wait for gauges to stabilize}
“The gauges have stabilized. Would you please time me?”
{after one minute or at the instruction of the examiner the test concludes}
“There was less than a three (3) psi loss.”
{release service brake}
