Warnings & Safety Statements
Danger of electrical shock. High current potential at compressor power
connection.
WARNING
Disconnect the vehicle battery or remove the primary power fuse before
removing the compressor enclosure
cover.
Danger of injury from release of compressed air.
The compressed air system normally
operates at 120 psig. Sudden release
of air pressure can cause eye injuries
and loss of sight.
WARNING
Wear eye protection when working on
the air system components. Disconnect power from the compressor and
release all air pressure before working on the air system.
Possible wiring damage or vehicle fire
from improper fusing.
Do not bypass the supplied fuses in
the electrical circuits. Do not install
fuses with a higher current rating
than those supplied.
CAUTION
If a fuse burns out, investigate and
repair the cause.
Possible damage to air springs from
over-extension.
The full weight of the axle must not be
allowed to pull on extended air
springs. The flexible bellows may
pull out of the crimped end plates,
permanently damaging the springs.
CAUTION
If the shock absorbers are disconnected, the rear axle must be supported on stands while the vehicle is
raised.

Product Description & Specifications
Product Description
The MTE air suspension system replaces the OEM leaf spring suspension with swing arms and air springs
(inflatable air bags). An air-spring system provides a smoother ride and is self-leveling during all driving and
normal loading conditions. Adjustable-dampening shock absorbers are standard with all suspension kits.
The air suspension system requires an MTE air compressor unit and air reservoir.
Operating Parameters and Specifications
Required operating voltage (air compressor): +11 to 15 VDC
Operating air pressure (compressor shut-off) setpoint: 120 psig, + 5 psig
Operating temperature range: -40 to 130o F
Shock Absorber Settings
Standard 4 x 2 application
2
Ambulance, bus application
3
H
Ride Height (Dim. “H”)
Standard 4 x 2 wheel drive
7.0”
The air suspension system is a loadleveling system designed to maintain
a specified ride height.
The specified ride height sets the inflatable air bags at their mid-point of
travel when the suspension is at rest.
CAUTION
Over or under-inflation of the air bags
will result in rough ride and poor handling, and may permanently damage
the bags.
3
Normal Operation
Normal Operation of the Air System
For normal operation, keep the Dump (Kneel) switch off.
Start the vehicle engine. If the air pressure in the system is low, the compressor will start immediately. When the pressure reaches the normal operating pressure, the compressor will stop automatically.
Normal maximum operating pressure is 120 psig. The compressor will start whenever the pressure drops to about 100 psig.
The red “low-pressure” light will turn on if the system pressure drops below 60 psig. If the vehicle
has not been started for several weeks, the low-pressure light may turn on briefly when the engine
is started.
Whenever the vehicle is running, you will hear the compressor start and stop occasionally. The
frequency of compressor cycling depends on the amount of movement at the rear suspension. As
the suspension moves, it consumes and releases air pressure to keep the chassis level. The
more the suspension moves up and down, the more frequently the compressor will have to run.
To lower the rear of the vehicle when connecting a trailer, activate the Dump (Kneel) switch. The
suspension will immediately deflate. When the trailer is connected, shut off the Dump switch and
verify that the suspension returns to the normal ride height. Never drive the vehicle with the
suspension in the Kneel position.
It is normal for the compressor to start when the Dump function is shut off and the suspension begins to inflate.
Operation of Optional Quick-Recovery System
Your vehicle may be equipped with the optional “Quick-Recovery” system for rapid return to normal ride height from the “dump” (kneel) position.
Prior to placing the vehicle in service, verify that the Quick-Recovery air valves have been adjusted. These valves can only be adjusted after a body and all permanently attached equipment have
been installed on the chassis. MTE does not adjust these valves when installing an air suspension on a bare chassis.
Following adjustment of the air valves, operation of the Quick-Recovery system is fully automatic.
When the air pressure has been “dumped” from the system and the “Dump” function is turned off,
the suspension should return to its normal ride height in 1-2 seconds.
If the suspension takes longer than 2 seconds to rise from the dump (kneel) position to the normal
ride height, the air valves need to be adjusted. Refer to the instructions in this manual.
On ambulance applications where the
“dump” function is controlled by
switches at the rear doors, the ambulance body installer is responsible for
all controls and wiring.
NOTE
MTE is typically not involved in the
installation or wiring of ambulance
bodies.
4
Emergency Operation
System Operation During Compressor Failure
If the compressor or other component in the enclosure fails and the compressor will not run, air pressure can still be maintained in the suspension system until repairs can be made. Use a compressed
air source and a standard tire valve chuck to add air at the Schrader valve in the end of the air tank.
Do not exceed 120 psig when adding air to the tank manually. Use a truck tire gauge to
check the air pressure in the system.
If the vehicle must be operated for an extended period in the failure mode, air will have to be added occasionally to compensate for losses due to movement of the suspension.
If there is an air leak in the system, manual filling of the tank may not be effective except for moving the vehicle a short distance.
Do not use the Dump (Kneel) function if the system is operating in the failure mode.
Manual air fill valve
Never drive the vehicle with the air
bags deflated. Permanent damage to
the air bags may occur.
If the compressor system fails, add
air manually to the air tank to allow
the vehicle to be moved to a repair
location.
CAUTION
Repair the cause of the compressor
system failure as soon as possible.
5
Routine Maintenance
The vehicle owner is responsible for inspection
after first 1,000 miles of operation, periodic inspections, maintenance, and proper use of the
system.
Suspension components must be inspected
and all fasteners retightened after the first 1,000
miles of operation.
CAUTION
Failure to retighten all suspension fasteners at
1,000 miles may result in damage to suspension
components or the axle.
Refer to the Air Compressor Owner’s manual
for maintenance information on the air compressor system.

Routine Maintenance—Ford
Fastener Tightening
Most top-lock nuts originally provided by MTE are cadmium-plated and high-pressure waxed to reduce friction
and prevent galling during tightening. Be sure to use the correct tightening torque for cadmium-plated fasteners.
If zinc-plated nuts are substituted during service repairs, be sure to use the correct torque values when tightening.
Note that cadmium plating is a silver color and zinc plating is a yellow/straw color.

Adjusting Ride Height
Suspension components can be damaged by over or under-inflation of the
air bags.
The air suspension is an automatic
leveling system with a specified ride
height. The purpose of the system is
to automatically maintain the specified ride height regardless of load
weight.
The specified ride height sets the inflatable air bags at their mid-point of
travel when the suspension is at rest.
CAUTION
Do not use the leveling valves to
change the body height or angle for
appearance or other purposes.
Over or under-inflation of the air bags
will result in rough ride and poor handling, and may permanently damage
the bags.
