Hello,

My airbag blew the other day. Today I started to take off the old bag, I have never messed with pneumatics before. Can point me in the right direction when it comes the hardware. The threaded fitting attached to the tube broke off right at the fitting. Is it possible to put a new fitting not the tube? What sized fitting do I need to attach to the new bag? Also what size are the original nuts 1”? Thanks!

Dan

Hello,

My airbag blew the other day. Today I started to take off the old bag, I have never messed with pneumatics before. Can point me in
the right direction when it comes the hardware. The threaded fitting attached to the tube broke off right at the fitting. Is it
possible to put a new fitting not the tube? What sized fitting do I need to attach to the new bag? Also what size are the original
nuts 1"? Thanks!

If you have shut offs at your bags, close them then push l&r to raise .  Liosen the lunes coming off the last solenoid on each tree leg and see if you get tnak pressure.  Heat depends on how long they were on

Yesterday the bags pumped up through the scrader valve, today they won't . The solenoids on top of the valve group are hot and seems like they are not
sending air through the system.  The garage compressor is not coming on or loosing pressure as it would if I had a leak or if it was filling the bags.
Is the high temp of the solenoid valves normal?
