IX. Maintenance and Operations
By following these steps, vehicle owners will obtain the longest life and best results from their air
springs.
1.
Check the air pressure weekly.
2.
Always maintain Normal Ride Height. Never inflate beyond 100
PSI
(7BAR)
.
3.
If you develop an air leak in the system, use a soapy water solution to check all air line connections and the inflation
valve core before deflating and removing the air spring.
4.
When increasing load, always adjust the air pressure to maintain the Normal Ride Height. Increase or decrease
pressure from the system as necessary to attain Normal Ride Height for optimal ride and handling. Remember that
loads carried behind the axle (including tongue loads) require more leveling force (pressure) than those carried
directly over the axle.
5.
IMPORTANT
: For your safety and to prevent possible damage to your vehicle,
do not exceed maximum
Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), as indicated by the vehicle manufacturer.
Although your air springs are
rated at a
maximum inflation pressure of 100
PSI
(7BAR)
.
The air pressure actually needed is depend
e
nt on your load
and
GVWR,
which may be less than 100
PSI
(7BAR)
.
Check your vehicle owners manual and do not exceed the
maximum load listed
for your vehicle.
6.
Always add air to springs in small quantities, checking the pressure frequently.
Air springs
require less air
volume
than a tire and inflate quickly.
7.
Should it become necessary to raise the vehicle by the frame, make sure the system is at minimum pressure (10
PSI
[.7BAR]
) to reduce the tension on the suspension/brake components. Use of on–board leveling systems
do not
require deflation or disconnection.
20
PSI
(1.4BAR)
100
PSI
(7BAR)
Failure to maintain correct minimum pressure (or pressure proportional to load), bottoming
out, over-extension, or rubbing against another component will void the warranty.
