m.
Action alarm and light must operate at 60 psi (415 kPa).
n.
Stop engine (TM 5-3800-205-10-1 or TM 5-3800-205-10-2).
o.
If action alarm and/or light do not operate at correct pressure, check electrical connections for the following com-
ponents: action alarm, light, and pressure switches. Check bulb for light switch.
p.

b.
Remove drain valve from one air tank.
c.
Install bushing and hose assembly to air tank
where drain valve was removed.
d.
Connect other end of hose to needle valve.
e.
Connect 290 psi (2000 kPa) gage to valve.
f.
Start engine (TM 5-3800-205-10-1 or TM 5-
3800-205-2) and allow air pressure to reach cut-
out pressure of 125 psi (860 kPa).
g.
Compare indications of air pressure gage on
machine and test gage. The difference between
two gages should not be more than 15 psi (105
kPa). If this condition exists, replace air pressure
gage on machine (WP 0042 00).
