Decal Requirements
2. Standard Decal Requirements
The following three (3) decals MUST be properly installed on
the trailer prior to putting it in service:
Tire Clearance Warning Decal: XL-AR356-01
(Figure 1)
.
SwingAlign Axle Alignment Decal: XL-AR435
(Figure 2)
.
Torque Decal: XL-AS20108DC-en-US
(Figure 3)
.
Shear Bolt Decal: XL-AS20085DC-en-US
(Figure 4)
.
It is the responsibility of the end user to periodically inspect all
decals and ensure that they are clean and completely legible.
If any decals are missing, loose, damaged or difficult to read,
contact SAF-HOLLAND Customer Service at 888-396-6501 to
order replacements immediately.
This suspension has been installed with a shear bolt front pivot connection design. This
connection requires no torque check, but does REQUIRE VISUAL INSPECTION.
Inspect that the spline has been sheared off and for any signs of movement:
Prior to placing trailer in service.
At every routine preventative maintenance.
After three (3) months or 5,000 miles.
At every brake relining.
DO NOT apply anti-sieze compound or additional lubricant
to pivot connection hardware. This can lead to unpredictable
clamp loads and unreliable axle alignment.

TIRE CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
•
1 INCH (25.4 mm) MINIMUM VERTICAL

from the air suspension or when the axle is fully lifted if equipped with a suspension lift feature.
•
2 INCH (50.8 mm) MINIMUM LATERAL
tire clearance is required between the sides of the
tire and the nearest point of contact through total travel of the air suspension. This includes
