66. Air suspension of front axle
General
The front axle air suspension (option) is available for 6200 ---8950 tractors. The foremost components of the system (com-
pressor, deicer with reservoir, pressure regulator, pressure gauge and pressure air reservoir) are the same as for the optional
pressure air brakes for the trailer (pressure air brakes, see pages 510/6 ---7 and 511/4 ---7). In addition, the air suspension has
an overflow valve and a levelling valve, which keeps the height of the suspension system (rubber bellows height) the same
regardless of the loading on the front axle. In addition, the system incl. two shock absorbers, air pipes and necessary frame
parts. The upper parts of the frame are bolted onto the side of the tractor frame (front loader mounting is possible, since
spacer plates of different thickness can be fitted between the tractor frame and the air suspension system frames. A space of
30 mm has been left on both sides for fitting optional equipments).
