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.





The air suspension system automatically or manually (operator control) lowers and lifts the vehicle using rear air suspension springs (air bag) (5) and front air suspension spring and shock assemblies (3) which replace the standard springs in the rear, and standard spring/shock in the front. The air suspension system uses multiple integrated components in various areas of the vehicle to accomplish this.

Below is a list of the components of the air suspension system. For more information on the individual components, refer to the specific components Description and Operation.

- Air Suspension Reservoir (1)

- Height Sensors (2)

- Front Air Spring and Shock assembly (3)

- Air Suspension ECU (inside of the cab) (4)

- Rear Air Springs Stand Alone w/Integral Gaiter (5)

- Fame Mounted Compressor Assembly w/Acoustical Cover (6)
