TESTING THE SYSTEM
Turn the ignition ON, move the left paddle switch to the UP position. The compressor should activate and the left
side needle of the gauge should show air pressure being delivered to the air spring raising the left side of the ve-
hicle. Then move the left paddle switch to the lower position. The needle of the gauge should show the air pressure
dropping and lowering the left side of the vehicle. Repeat on the right side switch. The right side air spring should
raise and lower with movement of the switch. Check the system for air leaks, fill both air springs to a predetermined
value, then periodically check the gauge for any air pressure loss. Repeat as necessary.
DO NOT EXCEED 100 PSI TO THE AIR SPRINGS AT ANY TIME
AIR LEAK CHECK
Inflate both the air springs to 90 PSI. Use a dish soap and water mixture on
all airline
connections to detect air leaks. Repair as necessary and retest. Inflate the air springs
to a predetermined value and then the following day recheck the pressure. If one or
both of the air springs have lost pressure, a leak is present. The leak must be repaired
and then retest the vehicle until
no leaks exist.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE WITH PACBRAKE AIR SUSPENSION
Air springs have minimum and maximum pressure requirements. Never operate your vehicle with less than 10 PSI in
the air spring and never inflate the air springs over 100 PSI. Damage to the air springs will result.
Check the air pressure in the air springs daily for the first couple of days to ensure a leak does not develop. The air
springs are designed to maintain the vehicles stock ride height with a load. Do not use the air springs as a means to
lift the vehicle with no load. A rough ride will result.
SERVICING YOUR VEHICLE WITH PACBRAKE AIR SUSPENSION
When lifting the vehicle with a floor jack or hoist on the frame, never allow the air spring to limit the travel of the axle.
Try to always jack the vehicle on the axle. Suspending the axle with the air spring limiting the axle travel will damage
the air spring and void the air spring warranty.
