Hi BAC forum members,
This is my first post. I'm a new Beaver owner, and have a bunch of questions.
First question, what is the proper way to set the air pressure for the Tag axle "down force"?
The manual indicates the air pressure is set at or around 30 psi.
EDIT - I can't locate the section in the manual now where the "30 psi" statement came from - so I may be wrong about this initial setting.
Since the Tag axle is single tire and rated for 10,000 lbs, where the rear axle is dual tire and rated for 21,000 lbs, it would seem that having the Tag axle carry 1/2 of the total rear end weight would be best.
I'm thinking the only way to know what air pressure setting is correct is to have the (rear of) MH weighed.
Do you adjust this depending on changing loads - or is it set it once and don't worry about it again?
Also, when the Tag axle is lifted will it automatically drop when the transmission shifts to second gear - or do I need to press the Tag button to lower it?
