a long freeway off ramp. The engine braking system will allow the engine
temperature to drop while going downhill.
NOTE: Idle the engine 3 to 5 minutes at approximately 1000 rpm to warm
the engine before activating the engine brakes. Do not operate the engine
brakes until the engine oil temperature is above 30 degrees C (86 degrees F).
WARNING: The engine brakes (Jake Brake) are designed to assist the
motorhome service brakes when slowing the motorhome to a stop.
Remember, service brakes will be required to bring the motorhome to a
stop.
Air ride springs are available in single, double and triple convolution types
plus reversible sleeve models for virtually every conceivable heavy-duty vehicle
suspension application.
1. STUD. Manufactured as a permanent part of bead
plate assembly for maximum strength and durability.
Used to attach spring to vehicle's suspension.
2. BEAD PLATE. Crimped onto bellows at factory
for a durable design and maximum quality control.
Allows 100% leak proof testing prior to shipment.
3. BELLOWS. "Air bag" includes for plies of materi-
al: and inner layer, two plies of cord-reinforced fabric
and an outer cover. Natural rubber construction pro-
vides functional properties to -65F.
4. BUMPERS. A solid rubber or engineered plastic
device designed to prevent significant damage to vehi-
cle or suspension in event of a sudden loss of air pres-
sure in spring.
5. PISTON. Provides a lower mounting arrangement
for air spring. Controls characteristics of spring under
changing pressure loads.
6. PISTON BOLT. Attaches piston to bellows.
Sometimes extended as a means of attaching spring to
vehicle suspension.
