LEAKAGE DEFINITIONS
It is necessary for you to know how fluid leaks affect the status of the trailer. The following are definitions of the
types/classes of leakage needed to determine the status of the trailer. Become familiar with them. When in
doubt, notify your supervisor.
Class I
–
Seepage of fluid (indicated by wetness or discoloration) not great enough to form drops.
Class II –
Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops, but not enough to cause drops to fall.
Class Ill –
Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops that fall.
CAUTION
When operating with class I or II leaks, check fluid levels more often than that required in the PMCS.
Equipment operation is allowable with minor leaks (class I or II). Notify your supervisor when in doubt.
Class Ill leaks must be reported to your supervisor or Organizational maintenance.
