When Do I Need To Replace The Air Bag On My Air Ride 5th Wheel Hitch?
Question:
When does the air bag require replacement. Mine is several years old and I think it is cracking.
asked by: Jim S
Expert Reply:
If the bag is starting to crack, then it is time to replace it. We do not want you on the road with a cracked bag as that could damage your equipment or put someone in danger if it goes on the highway. If your bag is leaking, it is also time to change the bag. To know if it's leaking, set the bag up like you normally do and then check pressures periodically as you drive around.
The starting pressure should be about 80 to 90 psi, with the pressure increased according to the ride height mark. The pressure is not to exceed 120 psi. Filling should be stopped when reaching either the ride height mark or 120 psi, whichever comes first. The minimum air bag pressure is 45 psi. NOTE: Check the air pressure level on the air bag before each use and adjust accordingly.
Hope this helps.
