Hi -
I have recently changed our van, the new vehicle, a Renault Master has air assisted suspension on the rear. I think the manufacturer is AS. The system has two gauges and valves fitted to a plate in the driver foot well.
When I got the van on hand over I was told to keep the needles in the green apart from that it would be trial and error. We have used the van a few times now with the gauges in 'green' area. Not having any instructions can someone on here help -
When the van is empty both gauges show an identical reading in the green sector. After loading and with a full tank of fuel the gauges will still be in the green sector but with half a bar difference do I need to balance them by adding more air to the lower one?
Also - any tips on usage, do's and dont's etc.
Sorry if this is obvious but without a manual I am not sure!
Mine aren't AS but there is a three way valve fitted. In one position both sides are connected together so that pressures can equalise. Have you not got something similar?

I can't find any manufacturers details on the installation. I am going buy what the dealer said, possibly AS. I will email them and compare the instruction book thanks.
No there is no three way valve that i can see. Just two gauges and an inflation valve underneath each gauge.

It appears that both sides are independant. Perhaps the actual pressure in each side does not matter as the important thing is to level the MH so it is not sagging on one side?

Hi Alec,
I have the same airide system and it is one of the most useful after market accessories in my opinion.It is basically 2 inflatable air springs that fit on the rear axle and firms up the rear end.
It virtually eliminates body roll on cornering particularly roundabouts and reduces sway caused by HGV's and crosswinds.
The 2 valves are to adjust the pressure on each side individually,I have both mine set at 2 bar but it's really trial and error before you get it right-2 bar is a good start point.

HI Steve
just been out and checked mine it is set on 5 bar, if i turn the taps does it just release the air. and how do you get air backin if neccessary
regards

Hi I have an AS system, I keep my guages normally on betwen 4 -5 bar as each side is independent (I keep both the same)
when I arrive at site, i use the system to level my van side to side.
Do not travel with guages lower than 1 bar or higher than 7.
