INSPECT EXHAUST RETARDER ASSEMBLY
Using a vacuum pump, confirm that the valve fully closes smoothly when applying a vacuum of 53.3 to 80.0 kPa (400 to 600 mmHg).
Confirm that the valve fully opens smoothly after exposing the exhaust retarder assembly to atmospheric pressure.
INSPECT AND ADJUST EXHAUST BRAKE VALVE ASSEMBLY
Using a vacuum pump, fully close the valve by applying a vacuum of 86.7 to 93.3 kPa (650 to 700 mmHg).
Using SST, inspect the gap between the valve and body.

| *a | 90° |
With the valve fully opened after exposing the exhaust retarder assembly to atmospheric pressure, inspect the angle between the valve and body.
Loosen the 2 nuts.
With the exhaust brake valve assembly against the exhaust brake valve stopper bolt as shown in the illustration (with the valve fully closed), adjust the exhaust brake valve stopper bolt so that the gap between the valve and body is within the standard clearance using SST.
