TM 9-2330-205-14&P
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. Hydraulic brake systems with leaks will stop working if fluid levels are not
maintained.
Equipment operation is allowable with minor leaks (class I or II). Consideration must be
given to the fluid capacity of the trailer hydraulic system. Notify your supervisor when in
doubt.
Class Ill leaks must be reported to your supervisor or organizational maintenance.
