Air Height valves
We are on the road in Mexico and have had some problems with the left
rear height valve. We had stopped for lunch and the whole unit was
leaning to the left. Stayed at a toll booth overnite and took it to a
shop in the morning. They replced the valve and it sat level and I
thought all as OK. We are in Mazatlan now and I noticed that when I
used the air braks my air guage dropped more than normal. Step would
come out after being stopped for 2 minutes. I crawled under and the air
is coming out the exhauts port on the new valve. I can see the allen
head set screw for adjusting the valve and I have a suspicion that it
is just out of adjustment. Or they may have installed the wrong valve??
I would loosen that set screw but I dont have any supports for the Bird
and am afraid it might dump the air from the bags and crush me. Not too
many good mechanics in this area but we might try a KW dealer on
Friday. Any suggestions appreciated I figure my life is worth more than
an hours labor!! I do have one hydraulic jack and could drive the unit
up on a 2 by 10.
