Country
Coach Ride Height
Accurate ride height
settings and maintenance are critical to proper coach operation.
The industry standard definition of Ride
Height is "the vertical distance between the center of the wheel and the bottom
of the frame rail over top of the axle." Since this theoretical dimension is
never easy to measure, other corresponding measurements are given to easily set
the suspension to the position that the theoretical specification dictates.
All
late model Country Coaches use a tripod arrangement of three height control
valves: with one valve controlling the front suspension, and two valves on the
rear drive axle. Tag axles are not individually set, but rather are regulated
to correspond to the drive axle.
Ride Heights are given per the suspension
used, regardless of the Country Coach brand motorcoach it is installed on.
BASIC REQUIREMENTS:
