Air pressure

[GARY MINKER]

Like any commercial vehicle with air brakes, the tanks should run between 110 and 120 psi under every condition. If you do not show this, your unloader for the compressor is bad and no, your step will not work under 90 psi. check for 120psi at the rear schraeder valve, be sure your dryer is not plugged up and drain your tanks once a year if needed for moisture. gary 85pt40 --- On Wed, 1/19/11, ronmarabito2002 wrote: From: ronmarabito2002 Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Air pressure To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, January 19, 2011, 3:33 PM Ray: First of all, you should get more than 70 psi. You either have a leak or your governor is not working correctly. Try kicking the step when the air is at its highest point. If it then either retracts or extends, that is a good indication that your leak was at the step. There are a couple of air pressure regulation valves that frequently go bad. One is in the rear next to your schraeder valve in the engine compartment assuming you have a pusher. If its leaking you will sure know it. The other is used to regulate the tag axle pressure and it is on the cross member above the rear axle. Hope that helps. R.E.

I read every post that comes out and appreciat all the insight. It has been an immense help for me. Whoever started this ought to receive a peace prize or something comparable.Recently, there was a discussion about air pressure. It prompted me to run a little test by turning my auxiliary compressor on and airing up my system. I wanted to check and see if any obvious leaks had developed since I've been sitting for 4 months. My gauge on the dash is at about 70 for both the green and the red needle after a week. However, it created a small issue for me in that my front step came in while I was ruining the compressor. It didn't come all the way in, it just hangs in limbo. It won't stay in and won't stay out. I can easily push it in and out with my hand. I tried the step extend switch and it has no effect. It's a bit dangerous climbing in and out of this thing on a swinging step... Help if you can... Thanks > > Ray and Denise > 92 Wanderlodge > Redding CA > For A While >
