InstallatIon, servIce and troubleshootIng Procedures
NOTICE: Do not overtighten the knurled tire
hose nut or damage knurled finish.
Doing so will make tire hose removal
extremely difficult for service
requirements.
10. Repeat procedure for remaining wheel ends.
Tire hose installation tips
(Refer to Figure 21 and Figure 22 on page 22 for
examples):
A. Route tire hoses inside rim area (Figure 21).
B. To further restrain tire hoses within rim area and
take up slack,”clock” wheel rotation relative to
hubcap position (Figure 22).
C. Valve stem orientation is not critical to TIREMAAX
®
performance as long as the hose is routed as
noted in Figure 22.
D. For dual wheel configurations, proper clocking is
particularly important since the two wheels (inner
and outer) must be properly oriented, with valve
stems on opposite sides, for proper installation.
E. Super single wheels, view C of Figure 22 and
Figure 25, require only one tire hose. Positioning
the hubcap port 90° from the valve stem provides
optimum fit. The unused port (on the side with the
oil-fill plug) will be plugged.
NOTE: This plug must be tightened to prevent wheel
end lubricant from leaking out of the hub.
CONTROllER INSTAllATION
The following criteria is recommended when locating
and mounting the controller assembly:
• Protect the controller and air lines from flying
debris.
• Provide a secure and stable mounting surface.
• Allow access for maintenance.
• Provide easy access to a reservoir, emergency/
supply line and delivery lines.
• Mount with door hinge at top, with room to open
door and (if included) petcock pointing down.
• If required, use the hole pattern shown in Figure 26.
• Use a minimum of four 5/16 inch bolts, washers
and nuts.
•
DO NOT
weld to slider box. Holes are provided
for fastening brackets and other components as
needed. Holes can be drilled as defined in the
following methods.

slider box mounting (Figure 27,
mounted low to avoid interference with slider stop
bar). Four holes (two pair) are pre-drilled in the
crossmember for this purpose.
NOTICE: failure to properly orient the
controller and mounting bracket, as
shown below, will result in slider
stop bar interference and controller
assembly damage.
