Do not allow a surge of air to enter the idler and do not use pressure more than 138 kPa (20.0 psi), as this surge of air may damage the seals.
Use 170-5664 Test and Fill Cart Gp to evaluate and fill the idler.
Illustration 40 g01585600
If 170-5664 Test and Fill Cart Gp is not available. Use FT-2724 Pressure Gauge Tool Gp to perform a pressure test on the idler.
Introduce nitrogen into the oil cavity to a pressure of 138 kPa (20.0 psi).
Turn the ball valve to the shutoff position.
Close the pressure gauge.
Observe the pressure for 10 seconds. A pressure drop 3.4 kPa (0.50 psi) or less is acceptable.
Add the correct quantity of oil to the idler. Refer to Table 14 or Undercarriage Reconditioning Bulletin, SEBF8576, "Idler Oil Fill Volume" for the oil volumes.
