installation of the proportioning valve.
4. Install Pressure Test Fitting, Special Tool 6805-1 or 6805-2, or equivalents into the outlet port of the HCU.
5. Install proportioning valve into pressure test fitting installed in the HCU outlet port.
CAUTION: Be sure the pressure test fitting being installed into proportioning valve, has the correct thread sizes for installation into the
proportioning valve and installation of brake tube fitting into proportioning valve.
6. Install Pressure Test Fitting, Special Tool 6805-3 or 6805-4, or equivalents into the outlet of the proportioning valve.
7. Connect brake tube onto pressure test fitting installed in proportioning valve.
8. Install a Pressure Gauge, Special Tool C-4007-A, or equivalent into each pressure test fitting. Bleed air out of hose from pressure test fitting to
pressure gauge, at pressure gauge to remove all trapped air.
9. With the aid of a helper, apply pressure to the brake pedal until reading on proportioning valve inlet gauge, is at the pressure shown on the
following chart. Then check the pressure reading on the proportioning valve outlet gauge. If proportioning valve outlet pressure does not agree
with value shown on the following chart, when inlet pressure shown on chart is obtained, replace the proportioning valve. If proportioning valve is
within pressure specifications do not replace proportioning valve.
10. Install proportioning valve in HCU and hand tighten until proportioning is fully installed and 0-ring seal is seated into HCU. Then torque
