Air Line Fluid Purge

Air Line Fluid Purge

WARNING: Do not remove an air spring under any circumstances when there is pressure in the air spring. Do not remove any components supporting an air spring without either exhausting the air or providing support for the air spring. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

WARNING: Disconnecting an air tube that is connected to the air compressor can cause damage to components as high pressure air is vented uncontrolled. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they effect performance of vital components and systems and their failure can result in major service expense. A new part with the same part number or an equivalent part must be installed, if installation is necessary. Do not use a part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to make sure of correct retention of these parts.

1. NOTE: Carry out this procedure if fluid (water and/or oil) is found in the air tube. Purge fluid from rear air tubes and install new components if affected.

Disconnect the air tube at the air compressor drier.
2. Disconnect the air tube from the air springs.
3. Connect shop air to the disconnected air tube and blow any fluid out.

4. NOTE: When installing the air tubes, make sure the white tube is fully inserted into the fitting for correct installation.

Reconnect the air tubes at the air springs.
5. Install a new air compressor drier.
6. Reconnect the air tube to the air compressor drier.
7. Make sure that all air tube fittings are sealed.
