With the proliferation of different types of air suspensions now being used on our vehicles, we
have had several requests for service and maintenance information. This information was originally contained in the service manuals with each vehicle, however, we have compiled the attached
document to assist you and your customers after delivery.
Please take particular note that there are recommended inspection and re-torque standards included in these documents. The end user is responsible for performing those operations. In some
cases the first torque inspection is due as soon as 1,000 miles. Many dealers may be approaching
that mileage merely by moving the vehicle to the factory and then on to the customer.
This document may be released to all of your customers who already have vehicles as well as those
to whom you are about to deliver a new unit. Sales staff should make a particular effort to review
these documents with each customer at time of delivery. We will continue to ship air suspension
information with each vehicle.
If you have any questions, please contact Horton engineering at any time. If the attached pdf is
missing, please download the bulletin from the Dealer Only section of the website, under
Technical Bulletin 32.
