Introduction
Reference: Special Instruction, REHS4445, "Servicing the Suspension Cylinders for Off-Highway Trucks"

Reference: Special Instruction, SEHS9411, "Servicing the Suspension Cylinders for Large Off-Highway Trucks"

This Special Instruction contains information to be used to find the source of a leak on the suspension cylinders.

The suspension system consists of four suspension cylinders (Struts). The following machine benefits result when the suspension
cylinders are charged with the proper amount of oil and nitrogen:

Maximized service life of the strut and the machine components

Improved accuracy of Truck Payload Measurement System (TPMS)

Improved ride quality

Personal injury or death can result from sudden suspension cylinder


movement.

Sudden movement, up or down, can cause the clearance above your


head to change rapidly.

Read all warning labels on the suspension cylinders before servicing. Do


not check the oil in the suspension cylinder until all the nitrogen
pressure has been released.

Do not, under any condition, remove valves, cover or plugs from the
cylinder unless the rod is fully retracted and all the nitrogen pressure is
released.

Do not stand under the machine when testing or adjusting the


suspension cylinders.

Improper operation, lubrication, maintenance or repair of this product


can be dangerous and could result in injury or death.

Do not operate or perform any lubrication, maintenance or repair on


this product, until you have read and understood the operation,
lubrication, maintenance and repair information.

Before you perform any repairs or before you perform any maintenance, read all safety information. Understand all safety
information before you perform any repairs or before you perform any maintenance.

Machine Preparation
Before you service the suspension cylinders, the dump body must be empty. Verify that the body is clean and does not contain any
carryback material.

Ensure that the fuel tank is full of fuel.

Position the machine on level ground. Coast the machine to a gentle stop without using the brakes. A sudden stop will alter the amount of
exposed chrome. A sudden stop will also invalidate the information that is used to determine if the machine needs to be serviced.

Visual Inspection
Perform a visual inspection on the suspension cylinder before you work on the suspension cylinder. Make sure that the machine is on
level ground. Do the inspection on an empty machine while the engine is stopped.

Check each suspension cylinder for oil leaks around the seals and around the valves.

Check each suspension cylinder for nitrogen leakage. A nitrogen leak is difficult to detect. A solution that consists of soap and of water
can be used to detect leaks.

Check for leakage at the O-rings that are located under the manifold and under the pressure sensor. Check for leakage at the O-rings that
are located under the protective plates that are on the head. These protective plates cover all or some of the head bolts to prevent removal
of the head while there is pressure in the suspension cylinder.

Do not adjust, loosen, or remove the protective plates to inspect for leaks
as it will release the pressure in the strut resulting in the truck to drop
suddenly that could result in personal injury or death.

Note: Use a ladder or appropriate device to reach the appropriate height to inspect the charging valves.

Note: Friction between the rod and the lower wear band may cause a dark stain to appear on the chrome of the suspension cylinder. This
stain does not affect the wear life of the suspension cylinder. The chrome can be polished to remove the stain. Eventually, the wear band
should become soaked by oil and grease and the blackening should decrease.

Conditions for Servicing


Service for the suspension cylinder is recommended when any of the following conditions exist:

A fault code will be displayed on the Vital Information Management System (VIMS), if the suspension cylinder is fully collapsed.

Suspension cylinder shows signs of leakage.

The travel of the suspension cylinder rod is limited.

The weight of the truck changes more than 22241 N (5000 lb).

The ride is rough or the struts are at full extension when the truck is empty.

The suspension cylinder pressures vary 345 kPa (50 psi) (Front) or 1035 kPa (150 psi) (Rear) more in comparison to the other side
when the truck is empty. Compare the left front to the right front and the left rear to the right rear. Do not compare the front to the
rear. Refer to "Machine Preparation". Compare the left front to the right front and the left rear to the right rear. Do not compare the
front to the rear.

The ride height of each cylinder is not within the recommended tolerance for that machine. Refer to "Machine Preparation".

Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Maintenance Interval Schedule" to check the suspension cylinders at the correct
intervals.

Note: In the analysis of a problem in the suspension cylinders, each cylinder operates as a separate unit. However, the condition of
charge in one cylinder can impact the ride height of the other three cylinders. For example, when the left rear cylinder is low, the right
front cylinder will be high due to the shift in vehicle weight. The same conditions exist for the right rear cylinder and the left front
cylinder.
