To Connect Hose:
• Push hose into fitting through the release ring and o-ring, using a slight
twisting motion, so that it bottoms firmly against the internal tube stop.
• Pull hose away from fitting to expand and set inner seal and ensure
hose is properly retained in fitting.
NOTE: When putting air hose back into fitting, be sure
that hose is cut as squarely as possible so that the hose will
seal in the fitting evenly. The cavity of the positive tubing
stop provides tubing support to prevent leakage.
WARNING: Do not remove air hoses from fittings while
system is pressurized as serious personal injury may
occur.
Air ride springs are available in single, double and triple convolution types
plus reversible sleeve models for virtually every conceivable heavy-duty vehicle
suspension application.
1. STUD: Manufactured as a permanent part of bead plate
assembly for maximum strength and durability. Used to
attach spring to the vehicle's suspension.
2. BEAD PLATE: Crimped onto bellows at the factory for a
durable design and maximum quality control. Allows 100%
leak proof testing prior to shipment.
3. BELLOWS: "Air bag" includes four plies of material: an
inner layer, two plies of cord-reinforced fabric and an outer
cover. Natural rubber construction provides functional
properties up to - 65º F.
4. BUMPERS: A solid rubber or engineered plastic device
designed to prevent significant damage to the vehicle or its
suspension in event of a sudden loss of air pressure in spring.
5. PISTON: Provides a lower mounting arrangement for air
spring. Controls characteristics of spring under changing
pressure loads.
6. PISTON BOLT: Attaches piston to bellows. Sometimes
extended as a means of attaching spring to vehicle suspension.
