Technical Support / Re: air up suspension from air compressor

« Last post by Joel Ashley on April 22, 2024, 08:45:33 AM »

Our rig has been stored for some years, parked off-level and dumped for good rain runoff.  When I needed to level/lift it up a couple summers back for more room to work underneath without starting the engine, I used my small 2 gallon Makita portable compressor and connected to the coach’s auxiliary air quick-connect.  It refilled the long-empty air tanks allowing use of the HWH control pad.

Technical Support / air up suspension from air compressor

« Last post by Dan Johnson on April 22, 2024, 12:20:07 AM »

I am putting a new air dryer on due to being old and rusted up.  Can I tee into the in line from the compressor so I can air up the suspension before starting the motor?  Or would the air go backward through the engine air compressor?

Randy
How long has it been since you saw it run properly?

It may still be a fuel issue .you may still have air or a restriction.
The first thing I would do is turn off the breaker/s on the gen set and then let it run for an hour or more to warm it up well and see if it doesn't smooth out then turn the breaker back on and load it with about a 2k watt load to see how it responds.

You are correct it is the overflow of my holding tank. Thank you.

Thx.  I got it to run.  But does not sound right.  As it surges.   Starts up.   Runs.  Takes the load. Then ki da struggles to keep running.  No codes now.  But. Something is still not right.  Internal fuel filter that I cannot see ??   Is what I am wondering now.

Our generator is a different model but I believe the fault codes are very similar for all their models.  I found the following.  It indicates you should be able to get a second-level fault code which would more precisely define the generator's issue.

"• Three blinks indicate a service fault. Press Stop once to cause the two-digit, second-level fault code to blink. (Pressing Stop again will stop the blinking.)The two-digit code consists of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 blinks, a brief pause, and then 1 to 9 blinks. The first set of blinks represents the tens digit and the second set of blinks represent the units digit of the fault code number. For example, Fault Code No. 36 appears as: blink-blink-blink—pause—blink-blink-blink-blink-blink-blink— long pause—repeat"

Lawlor,

It probably will not be a simple plug and play, but will have individual color coded wires that have to be put into the correct positions.  There is usually enough slack in the wire to make this a fairly easy connection.

Eric,

This job is pretty much straight forward brake work but the working quarters are tight.  Now I am a fairly fit, fairly low body fat,(15%) person, but I am 6'1" and 220 lbs so I don't fit well in a lot of places. I also have a repaired shoulder that doesn't do well with overhead work.   If your generator is on a front slide than run it out that helps a lot.  The higher you can get the coach also helps!  I drove up on ramps raising the coach 4.5 inches, 6 would have been even better, 12 would have been great. 

This job is doable, but take your time and break it up into small segments.  I was sore for a week after I finished, probably should have slowed down the work but I tend to force my way through.

Hopefully you will git a tip or two out of this,
