The tag axle is standard equipment on all Executives which are
40 foot and up. The tag axle design allows for more carry weight,
thus making it possible to create a longer coach. A longer coach
offers a wider variety and range of floor plans.
While the tire should be off the ground, there is no specific
height requirement for the tag axle in the up position. If the tag axle
requires being raised higher, adjustments can be made by taking up
one chain link on the tag axle.
The tag axle switch is located on the left hand shifter panel.
There are two lights on this switch: One to be lit when the head-
lights are turned to the on position, the other to be lit when the tag
axle switch is turned on. The tag axle should only be in the raised
position when severe maneuvering in your motorhome is performed under 5
mph.
If the tag axle switch is in the raised position while you start your coach, a
beeping alarm will sound. You will need to flip the switch to lower the tag axle.
Once the tag is lowered, it will require a few minutes with the engine running to
build up enough air pressure before it will be ready to travel.
When a tag axle switch is turned on in a motorhome with air leveling the fol-
lowing will take place: the 12 volt power will be in the 14 gauge yellow with
green stripe wire, which will go all the way to the rear mac valve for the tag axle
located on the roadside rear. Once the rear mac valve has been activated, the air
pressure will go through the orange air line to both tag axle brake chambers to
lift the tag. The air in the air bags will be released to the outside air. The tag axle
will remain in the raised position until the switch is turned to the off position.
Tag axle pressure is preset by the factory trained personnel and should not
require any adjustments. However, any adjustments of the pressure regulator
should only be performed by factory trained service personnel. The pressure reg-
ulator incorporates a pressure gauge which should be checked during any check
of the engine area. A drastic change in the reading could indicate potential prob-
lems. Any adjustment of the pressure regulator directly affect weight and load
capacity ratings. The weight MUST be verified by factory trained personnel
when adjustment are made to the pressure regulator. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENT.
Checking the Oil Level (Oil Bath Hubs Rear Only)
All tag axles will use the oil bath hubs on the tag axle only. The tag axle has
a chrome hub cap that will need to be removed before the inspection can take
place. You can locate the full and add mark on the outside of the plastic see
through cover. You will be able to see the oil level. You should inspect the oil
level before every trip or every 5,000 miles.
