C2. Double Axles (Fig. 49)

 

 

Note: 

 This procedure is applied only if the air pressure 

in the tires in both axles is the same.  If that is not the 

case, refer to the procedure for single axles. 

 

 

   1- 

Find a bolt or hole approximately midway between both axles, and at a height that will avoid 

any rubbing to the mounting pipe, even with the suspension working at load limit. 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  2- 

Take the selected bolt out.

 

 

 

   3- 

Secure the body coupling mounting pipe with the 

bolt  provided.  Tighten  with  a  torque  of 

approximately 115 lbs/sqft. 

 

The  body  coupling  mounting  pipe  must  remain 

with the VIGIA hose's outlet hole facing down. 

 

   4- 

Install body coupling to the adjustable mounting 

pipe as indicated in Figure 48 above.  Note that 

body coupling’s spacer is removed. 

 

 

   5- 

Pass the required hose length through the hole 

and connect the body coupling. 

 

   6- 

Screw  the  mounting  pipe  end  with  15  lbs/sqft. 

torque  turning  the  hose  at  the  same  time  to 

avoid strangling.  

 

   7- 

Adjust  the  length  of  the  adjustable  mounting 

pipe making sure that body coupling end is not 

exposed.  Fix  position  with  corresponding  conic 

nut.
