Air System

SUSPENSION AIR SySTEM OPERATION

The major air components of the suspension system include the air springs and height control valves.

See Figures 6-

1 and 6-2. The system operates automatically to maintain a constant ride height regardless

of load or load distribution.
The pressure in the air spring bellows is varied automatically by the height control valves in proportion

to the coach load. Three height control valves, one at the front axle and two at the rear axle, maintain the

constant ride height under all load conditions.
The accessory air tank supplies compressed air to the height control valves. A pressure protection valve

allows removal of air from the accessory air tank only if pressure in the accessory tank is greater than

65 psi (450 kPa). A check valve at the accessory tank prevents the loss of air back into the main system.

An air strainer is also installed in the line with the pressure protection valve. The height control valves

meter air into the air spring bellows as needed. The valves are actuated by the relative movement be-

tween the coach body and the axles.

Never get under the coach without first blocking the frame or placing

the coach over a pit. With the air springs deflated there is not enough

clearance under the coach body for a person. When blocking the

body, place blocks under the chassis frame rails near the axles to be

serviced. Refer to the “Jacking and Towing Instructions” in the General

Information chapter of this manual.

As the coach is loaded the body settles toward the axles. This movement operates the height control

valve and air is allowed into the air springs. Air pressure in the air springs increases enough to compen-

sate for the additional load, which keeps the coach body at normal ride height.
As passengers leave the coach, the height control valves allow air to exhaust from the air springs. The

air in the air springs is reduced by the valves in proportion to the weight debarking the coach, which,

again, keeps the coach body at normal ride level.
The height control valves are designed to operate only when the load in the coach is changed. They do

not respond to the rapid relative motion between the axle and body such as that motion caused by road

bumps.
