-
Bleed the air tank regularly
It's important to vent the air from your tank by opening the bleed screw located under the tank. This removes accumulated water and moisture, reducing the risk of freezing, especially for vehicles parked outdoors. Even with a dehumidifier, some water can still seep into the system. Regular bleeding helps prevent frost damage to the air intakes or air management system. -
Maintaining the air cushions
To keep the rubber of your air springs supple and in good condition, regular cleaning and greasing with silicone grease is essential. This not only prevents cracks, but also prevents air leaks and possible creaking, thus extending the life of your air suspension system. You can find quality silicone grease available here .
