Air Ride Operation
1.
Trailer air pressure must be maintained above 90 PSI
before operating. PROTECTION VALVES are used to
maintain 65 PSI air brake pressure during
suspension or remote system air loss.
2.
The Model 900 series tandem and triple axle
semitrailer is equipped with a ride control valve
located on rear axle.

To deflate the air suspension, disconnect the
lower connection on the linkage of the automatic
air valves. Rotate the valve control arms down
about 45
o
to exhaust the air. To restore to normal
operation, simply reverse the procedure.
Insure suspension air bags are inflated on all
axles when moving undercarriage from load to
transport position. Failure to do so can cause
excessive tire wear.
