Driving on air.Drivers, you're in for a rough ride in your 2 1/2- or 5-ton FMTV FMTV Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles FMTV Frequency Modulation Television if you don't keep the air springs inflated. Some operators seem to think it's necessary to deflate (file format, compression) deflate - A compression standard derived from LZ77; it is reportedly used in zip, gzip, PKZIP, and png, among others. Unlike LZW, deflate compression does not use patented compression algorithms. the air springs before tilting the cab. Then they forget to re-inflate them when they finish their work. With no air, the cab isn't level. Bumps and jars during operation can make the springs pinch the bag. A damaged bag won't hold air so your backside suffers big time on a bumpy bump·y adj. bump·i·er, bump·i·est 1. Covered with or full of bumps: a bumpy country road. 2. Marked by bumps and jolts; rough: a bumpy flight. road. The only time it's necessary to deflate the air springs is when you're preparing for air transport. So leave 'em inflated at all other times. If the air springs on your truck are flat, re-inflate 'era. Just press and turn to the right the CAB knob on the hydraulic manifold A hydraulic manifold is a component which regulates fluid flow between pumps and actuators and other components in a hydraulic system. It is like a switchboard in an electrical circuit because it lets the operator control how much fluid flows between which components of a hydraulic control panel. |
