Air Suspension Compressor Assembly - Description

DESCRIPTION

WARNING:
All pressurized air suspension components contain high pressure air (up to 220 psig). Use extreme caution when inspecting for leaks. Wear safety goggles and adequate protective clothing when inspecting or servicing the air suspension system. A sudden release of air under this amount of pressure can cause possible serious or fatal injury.

WARNING:
Support the vehicle by supplemental means before performing any work on the air suspension system to prevent the vehicle from changing height. Before any given component is to be serviced it must be deflated. Servicing the air suspension system without supplemental support, or with pressure in the specific component, can cause possible serious or fatal injury.

CAUTION:
When handling the air suspension compressor assembly, keep upright and carry only by the compressor itself or the primary bracket (bolts the assembly to the vehicle).





The air suspension compressor assembly (6) is located underneath the pickup box on the right side, and is bolted to the frame. The air lines, air suspension hose assembly and multiple electrical connectors are attached to the air suspension compressor assembly (6). The compressor itself is suspended from the air suspension compressor assembly mounting bracket by three spring loaded studs to reduce vibration and noise. The valve block (2) is bolted to a mounting bracket that is in turn bolted directly to the side of the air suspension compressor assembly mounting bracket. The air suspension compressor (6) and the valve block (2) can be serviced separately.

The compressor (6) cannot refill the reservoir and complete system if all pressure is exhausted as in a compressor assembly or valve block (2) replacement. The system will need to be filled at the reservoir. For complete filling of the air suspension system after a repair Complete System Fill.
