Air suspension the gauges have changed?

[Hammie]

my air suspension gauges have gone down. There was no paperwork or info on the air suspension but I notice that the position on the gauges has changed. I don’t hear a compressor running on startup so should I be doing something to inflate the system. If so can I use the tyre inflator? The vehicle feels stable enough when driving

If I should inflate it do I just connect the tyre inflator and open the red and blue levers?

Open and close the two valves (red and blue) one at a time. One of the valves, probably the blue one, will allow the gauge to register the current pressure.
As they are both turned off the gauge will have lost pressure naturally.

That is a manual pump up, you need to attach a pump or compressor and add some air.
Have u opened up one of the valves to see if its both sides low on pressure or just one.

Do not drive the Motorhome without any air in the bellows.

That looks the same as mine, Blue is the left side, Red the Right. Open the blue valve and see if the gauge goes up. Close and do the same with the red. You should have the same pressure in both. Opening both valves joins it as one system so will balance the pressure. The top the pressure up attach a foot pump/tyre pump and add pressure.

I’ve done it now both were very low. I inflated it to 2 bar as I saw another motorhomer kept his at 2 bar? My van is 4.1 ton though? I will keep an eye on it to see if it goes down. Thanks for the help I’m very wet now . Are you supposed to empty it every week to clear water out?

I will type up instructions on the air suspension and keep it in the box with all the other documents. In case I’m not around when someone else owns it
