Installation

The 2nd ride height can be set in accordance of the respective angle (Deflection) of each valve. The angle here refers to the deflection of the control lever from the horizontal, in degrees. The body height changes (mm) as a function of the lever length; see chart “2nd ride height”.

Height change (mm) for α = 10°	10	14	17	21	24	28	31	35	38	42	45	49	52	56
Height change (mm) for α = 16°	17	22	28	33	39	44	50	55	61	66	72	77	83	88
Height change (mm) for α = 20°	21	27	34	41	48	55	62	68	75	82	89	96	103	109
Height change (mm) for α = 35°	34	46	57	69	80	92	103	115	126	138	149	161	172	184

Example:

Using a levelling valve with 2nd ride height @16°, and lever length=220mm

Ride body height = 1210mm

2nd ride height = 1210+61 = 1271mm

Inspection

Test for operation and leaks.
The pressure should neither rise nor fall at the delivery ports in the neutral position.
Check the linkage moves freely and is in good condition, replace if bent or welded.
Replace hardened or brittle rubber parts.

Maintenance

If defects are noted during vehicle examinations or when driving, then the unit should be exchanged.
When working with high pressure cleaners a distance of at least 50 cm should be observed.
Missing exhaust caps are to be renewed.

Type chart (flow)

The Type chart shows the air flow depending the angle of the lever. The higher the type number is (internal diameter of the valve) the higher air flow rate is reached. The curve profil is also important, as they are more or less progressive in the range 0° to 20° angle.
