1000 Maintenance and servicing Minimum Air Pressure Maximum Air Pressure 5 PSI 35 PSI FAILURE TO MAINTAIN CORRECT MINIMUM PRESSURE (OR PRESSURE PROPORTIONAL TO LOAD), BOTTOMING OUT, OVER-ExTENSION OR RUBBING AGAINST ANOTHER COMPONENT WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES By following these steps, vehicle owners will obtain the longest life and best results from their air springs.
No. Adding air springs will not change the weight ratings (GAWR, GCWR and/or GVWR) of a vehicle. Exceeding the GVWR is dangerous and voids the Air Lift warranty. Q . Is it necessary to keep air in the air springs at all times and how much pressure will they need? The minimum air pressure should be maintained at all times.
1000 GUIDELINES FOR ADDING AIR 1. Start with the vehicle level or slightly above. 2. When in doubt, always add air. 3. For motorhomes, start with 50-100 PSI in the rear because it can be safely assumed that it is heavily loaded.
