DISASSEMBLY
WARNING
Valve assemblies are under a spring load. Use caution during disassembly procedures so that no parts fly
out, causing injury to personnel.
NOTE
The H-5 relay air valve provides for an automatic brake release on the locomotive, independent of the
train brakes.
When removing or repairing brake valves or components, check air lines and pipes for corrosion, breaks,
splits, or loose connections. Repair of air lines and piping consists of replacing defective pipes, lines, and
connections. Refer to TM 55-2210-223-24P for identification of piping.
