Accessory Air Fitting
Provided for convenience is a remote air
supply fitting located roadside in the engine
compartment just above the steering gear. This
female fitting will accept type C automotive
connectors. The accessory air fitting can be
used to inflate tires, air mattresses or other
pneumatic items.
This fitting is not designed to charge the air
system on the motorhome. The air supply for
the auxiliary air fitting is charged from the
front air tank through a pressure protection
valve.
To use this feature:
Slide the locking collar back. Using a
firm grip, fully insert the air fitting into
the auxiliary air supply. Release the
locking collar to retain the air fitting
after the fitting is properly inserted.
To remove fitting:
Firmly grip the air hose near the fitting
to prevent recoil.
Slide the locking collar back to release
fitting. Place dust cap over fitting to
keep the fitting clean.

NOTE:
Due to air pressure restrictions
in the pressure protection valve
and tire stem valve, the maximum
amount of tire pressure achieved
when the system is used to fill a tire
is approximately 115 psi with the air
system on the motorhome charged to
130 psi. Maximum outlet air pressure
is achieved when the air system
completes the fill cycle indicated by
the purge cycle of the air dryer.
Air System Charging (External)
The air system on the motorhome can
be charged from an external air supply
source. Located in the roadside engine
compartment is a type C automotive
male fitting. Caution should be used
when charging the air system from this fitting.
The air supplied from an external source may
contain moisture. Compressed air introduced
into the air system from this fitting is not
filtered by the air dryer. The auxiliary air
charge fitting will charge the front and rear air
tanks. A shut-off valve is installed to prevent
air from escaping.
CAUTION:
Regulate the external
charge air supply
to no more than
120 psi. Damage
to the air system
or pneumatically
operated items may
occur.
Air Fittings
Push-in fittings are used to connect air
hoses between pneumatically operated items.
Fittings, sizes and types vary for different
applications. Threaded fittings adapt the push-
in fittings to connect pneumatically operated
items. Parts include the release ring, locking
ring, solid brass body and special rubber
compound O-ring. Damaged hoses can be
repaired by splicing.
To Disconnect Hose:
Push hose into fitting.
Push release ring down against locking
ring portion of the fitting body.
While holding the release ring down,
pull hose away from fitting.
