Lowering a Vehicle with Air Suspension

sb dm 13.05.002

    Warning: Do not use bottle jacks to raise the vehicle. Always use floor jacks. Bottle jacks can slip, allowing the vehicle to fall, which could result in damage to the vehicle, serious injury, or death.

    Notice: Do not place jack stands under any of the suspension components; doing so could cause suspension component damage. Jack stands can be placed at any point below the axle, including the differential area.

  1. Using the floor jack, raise the vehicle to remove any jack stands used to support the vehicle.
  2. Slowly lower the vehicle to the ground.
  3. Inflate the air suspension, and check for proper operation. Refer to Group 32 in the Shuttle Bus Chassis Workshop Manual for instructions.
