Air Line - 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 personal injury or death.
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 personal injury or death.
Pressurized air is transferred though air lines (2, 6) between the air suspension compressor assembly (4), air suspension reservoir (1), compressor assembly valve block (part of compressor assembly [4]), front air suspension spring and shock assemblies (3), and the rear air springs (7). The air lines are made of nylon 12. The air lines are broken into two primary groups divided by a connection (5) in the engine compartment at the cowl, and a few individual lines at the air suspension compressor assembly (4). The air lines will have a dedicated harness and will be clipped to or run along with a wiring harness. The complete section from the cowl rearward is serviced as a rear air line assembly (6) including the RR, LR and reservoir (all from the cowl to its component). The lines forward of the cowl connection (2) are serviced as a front air line assembly including the RF, LF, RR to cowl, LF to cowl and reservoir to cowl with a few exceptions at the air suspension compressor assembly as follows:
- Compressor Air Line (pressure, between compressor and valve block)
- Adapter Air Line (compressor to valve block bracket, for reservoir air line connection)
