Installation Instructions

8. Slider Assembly Installation 

1.  Remove the hold down clips on all four (4) corners of  

the slider.

2.  Locate the slider between the body rails of the trailer and 

engage the lock pins. Refer to the slider re-positioning 
operating instructions in Section 12 of this manual.

3.  Once the slider is correctly positioned, re-install the hold 

down clips to the slider and body rails, and torque all 

IPMEEPXODMJQOVUTUPGUMCT /tN

4.  Ensure the linkage assembled to the height control valve (HCV)  

and suspension is of the appropriate height 

(Figure 12)

.

IMPORTANT:

  A 15" linkage is used for ride heights of 

16", 16.5"-17".  A 16" linkage is required 
for 18" ride heights 

(Figure 16)

.

Failure to match the linkage length to the  
design ride height could result in improper  
suspension height which, if not avoided,  
could result in damage to trailer components.

5.  Connect service and emergency gland hand lines to the 

slider and allow the suspension to air up.

6.  Measure the ride height of the suspension 

(Figure 13)

 

with a tape measure.

7.  Compare the measured suspension ride height value to 

the appropriate value 

(Table 1)

. Ensure your measured 

ride height value is within ± 1/4" (6 mm).

IMPORTANT:

  If your measured ride height value is NOT  

within ± 1/4"(6 mm); use the table to verify  
the linkage length 

(Table 2 and Figure 12)

,  

and the hole location where the top mounting  
stud of the height control valve (HCV) is 
bolted to the mounting bracket 

(Figure 14)

.

8.  Visually check all air control system fittings for air leaks 

by applying a soapy water solution and checking for 
bubbles at all air connections and fittings.
