However, the following conditions can also cause water accumulation
and should be considered before replacing the filter:
• An outside air source has been used to charge the system.
This air did not pass through the drying bed.
• In the area where a 30º range of temperature occurs in
one day, small amounts of water can accumulate due to
condensation. Under these conditions, moisture is nor-
mal and should not be considered a problem.
There are 2 filters in the air dryer that will need to be peri-
odically checked and changed if necessary. First is the spin-
on desiccant filter, and the second is the replaceable coalesc-
ing filter. Depending on how often vehicle is driven, the fil-
ters will need to be checked every 6 months to 1 year.
Remove the coalescing filter to determine the amount of con-
tamination. If the filter looks black, the filters need to be
changed. If it is gray or white the filters are fine. Whenever you need to
change the filters, make sure you change both filters, coalescing and desic-
cant, at same time. To remove the filters, first unscrew the desiccant filter
and remove it. Then reach in and remove the coalescing filter.
The air storage tanks are equipped with a pop valve and manual drain
valves. The front air tank is divided in two halves: wet side and a dry side.
The compressed air enters the wet side before entering into the dry side. A
discharge line from the dry side of the front air tank charges the rear air
tank. A manual drain is located on the both sides of the front storage tank.
The pop valve is located on the WET side. The pop valve is designed to
release pressure in the tank when the pressure exceeds 130 psi. The air tank
should be drained every 90 days. The rear tank has only one manual drain.
The air tank should be left open using the manual drain until all air has
escaped. An additional five minutes will permit the moisture to escape. The
air tank will provide air to the air bags, height control valves, parking brake
and step slide cover.
NOTE: Color coded air lines can help identify air system malfunctions.
Located on the roadside, open the
propane tank bay door. Secured to the frame
you will locate the universal air coupler, used for
the remote air hose. Push-to-connect the air hose used
for checking air pressure in the tires and miscellaneous parts.
It will be necessary to remove the dust cap first.
