Warnings & Safety Statements

WARNING

Danger of electrical shock. High cur-rent potential at compressor power connection.

Disconnect the vehicle battery or re-move the primary power fuse before removing the compressor enclosure cover.

WARNING

Danger of injury from release of com-pressed air.

The compressed air system normally operates at 120 psig. Sudden release of air pressure can cause eye injuries and loss of sight.

Wear eye protection when working on the air system components. Discon-nect power from the compressor and release all air pressure before work-ing on the air system.

CAUTION

Possible wiring damage or vehicle fire from improper fusing.

Do not bypass the supplied fuses in the electrical circuits. Do not install fuses with a higher current rating than those supplied.

If a fuse burns out, investigate and repair the cause.

CAUTION

Possible damage to air springs from over-extension.

The full weight of the axle must not be allowed to pull on extended air springs. The flexible bellows may pull out of the crimped end plates, permanently damaging the springs.

If the shock absorbers are discon-nected, the rear axle must be sup-ported on stands while the vehicle is raised.

Product Description & Specifications Product Description

The MTE air suspension system replaces the OEM leaf spring suspension with swing arms and air springs (inflatable air bags). An air-spring system provides a smoother ride and is self-leveling during all driving and normal loading conditions. Adjustable-dampening shock absorbers are standard with all suspension kits.

The air suspension system requires an MTE air compressor unit and air reservoir.

Operating Parameters and Specifications

Required operating voltage (air compressor): +11 to 15 VDC

Operating air pressure (compressor shut-off) setpoint: 120 psig, + 5 psig

Operating temperature range: -40 to 130o F

CAUTION

The air suspension system is a load-leveling system designed to maintain a specified ride height.

The specified ride height sets the in-flatable air bags at their mid-point of travel when the suspension is at rest.

Over or under-inflation of the air bags will result in rough ride and poor han-dling, and may permanently damage the bags.

Normal Operation Normal Operation of the Air System

For normal operation, keep the Dump (Kneel) switch off.

Start the vehicle engine. If the air pressure in the system is low, the compressor will start immedi-ately. When the pressure reaches the normal operating pressure, the compressor will stop auto-matically.

Normal maximum operating pressure is 120 psig. The compressor will start whenever the pres-sure drops to about 100 psig.

The red “low-pressure” light will turn on if the system pressure drops below 60 psig. If the vehicle has not been started for several weeks, the low-pressure light may turn on briefly when the engine is started.

Whenever the vehicle is running, you will hear the compressor start and stop occasionally. The frequency of compressor cycling depends on the amount of movement at the rear suspension. As the suspension moves, it consumes and releases air pressure to keep the chassis level. The more the suspension moves up and down, the more frequently the compressor will have to run.

To lower the rear of the vehicle when connecting a trailer, activate the Dump (Kneel) switch. The suspension will immediately deflate. When the trailer is connected, shut off the Dump switch and verify that the suspension returns to the normal ride height. Never drive the vehicle with the suspension in the Kneel position.

It is normal for the compressor to start when the Dump function is shut off and the suspension be-gins to inflate.

Operation of Optional Quick-Recovery System

Your vehicle may be equipped with the optional “Quick-Recovery” system for rapid return to nor-mal ride height from the “dump” (kneel) position.

Prior to placing the vehicle in service, verify that the Quick-Recovery air valves have been adjust-ed. These valves can only be adjusted after a body and all permanently attached equipment have been installed on the chassis. MTE does not adjust these valves when installing an air suspen-sion on a bare chassis.

Following adjustment of the air valves, operation of the Quick-Recovery system is fully automatic.

When the air pressure has been “dumped” from the system and the “Dump” function is turned off, the suspension should return to its normal ride height in 1-2 seconds.

If the suspension takes longer than 2 seconds to rise from the dump (kneel) position to the normal ride height, the air valves need to be adjusted. Refer to the instructions in this manual.

NOTE

On ambulance applications where the “dump” function is controlled by switches at the rear doors, the ambu-lance body installer is responsible for all controls and wiring.

MTE is typically not involved in the installation or wiring of ambulance bodies.

5

Emergency Operation System Operation During Compressor Failure

If the compressor or other component in the enclosure fails and the compressor will not run, air pres-sure can still be maintained in the suspension system until repairs can be made. Use a compressed air source and a standard tire valve chuck to add air at the Schrader valve in the end of the air tank.

Do not exceed 120 psig when adding air to the tank manually. Use a truck tire gauge to check the air pressure in the system.

If the vehicle must be operated for an extended period in the failure mode, air will have to be add-ed occasionally to compensate for losses due to movement of the suspension.

If there is an air leak in the system, manual filling of the tank may not be effective except for mov-ing the vehicle a short distance.

Do not use the Dump (Kneel) function if the system is operating in the failure mode.

CAUTION

Never drive the vehicle with the air bags deflated. Permanent damage to the air bags may occur.

If the compressor system fails, add air manually to the air tank to allow the vehicle to be moved to a repair location.

Repair the cause of the compressor system failure as soon as possible.

Fastener Tightening

Most top-lock nuts originally provided by MTE are cadmium-plated and high-pressure waxed to reduce friction and prevent galling during tightening. Be sure to use the correct tightening torque for cadmium-plated fasten-ers.

If zinc-plated nuts are substituted during service repairs, be sure to use the correct torque values when tighten-ing.

Note that cadmium plating is a silver color and zinc plating is a yellow/straw color.

8

NOTE

If fasteners are replaced, use only the same size, grade, and type of fastener originally supplied.

All fasteners must be tightened and checked with a tested and calibrated torque wrench.

NOTE

Torque values given here are based on the standard fasteners supplied with the original installation kit:

Grade 8

Flanged bolts and nuts for frame-mounted brackets.

Steel top-lock nuts and hardened flat washers

Most nuts supplied originally are cadmium-plated and waxed

Any changes to fastener specifica-tions will also change required tight-ening torque.

Repairs

NOTE

The air suspension system is not con-sidered to be user-serviceable.

It is recommended that service and repairs be performed by a Monroe Truck Equipment facility or other truck equipment repair shop.

The air suspension system is not considered user-serviceable. Adjustment to the ride height of the vehicle should be made only by a qualified service technician. Improper

ride height can damage the suspension air bags. For repairs, contact a Monroe Truck Equipment facility or a truck repair shop. Maintenance and repairs to suspension parts should only be performed by a competent truck or suspension

shop. Replacement parts are available through Monroe Truck Equipment. See the parts lists on the following pages.

CAUTION

Possible damage to air springs from over-extension.

The full weight of the axle must not be allowed to pull on extended air springs. The flexible bellows may pull out of the crimped end plates, permanently damaging the springs.

If the shock absorbers are discon-nected, the rear axle must be sup-ported on stands while the vehicle is raised.

Adjusting Ride Height

CAUTION

Suspension components can be dam-aged by over or under-inflation of the air bags.

The air suspension is an automatic leveling system with a specified ride height. The purpose of the system is to automatically maintain the speci-fied ride height regardless of load weight.

The specified ride height sets the in-flatable air bags at their mid-point of travel when the suspension is at rest.

Do not use the leveling valves to change the body height or angle for appearance or other purposes.

Over or under-inflation of the air bags will result in rough ride and poor han-dling, and may permanently damage the bags.

Look Action Task

15

4. Verify that the air bags are fully inflated and the compressor pump has stopped.

1. With the system pressurized and the air bags inflated, drive the vehicle a short distance around the parking lot to “settle” the suspension.

2. Park the vehicle in a level location.

3. Check and adjust the tire pressures.

CAUTION

Do not drive the vehicle with the air bags deflated, except to move it a short distance.

Driving with the air bags deflated can damage the internal bump stops.

Make sure there is enough air in the bags to raise the chassis a few inch-es.

9. Remove the nut that fastens the upper rod pivot to the leveling valve arm and pull the stud out of the arm.

10. Turn the threaded rod an equal amount at each rod pivot. Both ends of the threaded rod are right-hand thread.

NOTE

For systems with dual leveling valves, the valves must be adjusted individu-ally for each side.

After initially setting both valves, check the ride height again and make minor adjustments as necessary.

NOTE When adjusting the length of the lev-eling rod, make equal changes at each end of the rod.

The thread at both ends of the rod is right-hand. One end of the rod must be disconnected in order to adjust the length.

Total available thread makeup at each end is about 5/8”. Maintain a mini-mum 1/4” thread makeup in the plas-tic ends.

If the ride height can not be adjusted with the available range of adjustment at the rod, check for a bent mounting at the leveling valve or other physical damage.

Keep thread engagement equal at each end

Adjusting Quick-Recovery Air Valves

NOTE

The “Quick-Recovery” system is an optional feature that may not be in-stalled on your vehicle.

The Quick-Recovery system returns the vehicle to the normal ride height rapidly after the “Dump” function is used. This option is typically used on ambulances.

If desired, the Quick-Recovery system can be retrofitted to any MTE air sus-pension system. Contact MTE Sales for more information.

6. Verify that the system air pressure is 120 psig with the compressor off.

1. Park the vehicle in a level location.

2. Remove any heavy cargo from the body to avoid off-center loading.

3. Check and adjust the tire pressures.

4. Check the normal ride height of the air suspension and adjust the leveling valves if necessary.

NOTE

A body and all other permanently-installed equipment must be installed before the Quick-Recovery valves are adjusted. The full weight of the com-pleted installation must be on the rear suspension for proper valve adjust-ment.

Do not attempt to adjust the Quick-Recovery valves on an unfinished cab chassis.

10. Measure and record the distance from the top of the swing arm to the bottom of the upper air bag bracket at the rear of the swing arm.

Bumps stops are inside the air springs on a Ford SD installation.

11. Shut off the “Dump” function and allow the air bags to fill and the vehicle to reach the normal ride height.

24

NOTE

The purpose of the Quick Recovery system is to allow the suspension to drop to the “kneel” position without dumping all the air pressure. The re-sidual pressure in the system is what provides quick recovery to the normal ride height.

By measuring and adjusting the “kneel” height, it is not necessary to try to achieve a specific system air pressure in the “dump” mode.

13. Activate the “Dump” function again and allow the air bags to deflate.

14. Note in the photo that the air bags should not deflate fully when the Quick Recovery valves are active.

15. Measure and record the distance be-tween the swing arm and the upper bracket again.

16. If the chassis height dimension is 1/4” to 1/2” more than the originally measured dimension, the recovery valves are ad-justed properly.

12. Turn both Quick Recovery valve adjust-er bolts about 1/3 of the way in. Leave the lock nuts loose at this time.


25

Look Action Task

17. Note that for an ambulance application, the inside floor height must not be over 33” in the “dump” mode. The Quick Recovery valves can be adjusted to achieve this height requirement.

18. Adjust the Quick Recovery valves as required to achieve the “kneel” height of 1/4” to 1/2” higher than the fully deflat-ed height.

19. If the suspension is too low, deactivate the “dump” mode and turn the adjuster bolts in 1-2 turns. Engage the “dump” mode again and recheck the dimension.

20. If the suspension is too high, turn the adjuster bolts out slowly while still in the “dump” mode to achieve the re-quired “kneel” height.

NOTE

If the “kneel” height is too high, the valve adjuster bolts can be turned out slowly to release air pressure while in the “dump” mode.

However, if the “kneel” height is too low, the “dump” mode must be deac-tivated and the suspension raised to the normal ride height before adjust-ing the valves. Once the air dump is complete, turning the adjuster bolts in will not add air to the system.
