Troubleshooting Guide
NON-STEERABLE AUXILIARY LIFT AXLE SYSTEM
PROBLEM
Lift axle not getting
the desired load on
the axle
The lift axle is not
getting the correct lift
Lift axle has
excessive lateral
movement
Lift axle in reverse
caster when lifted
Excessive tire wear
POSSIBLE CAUSE
CORRECTION
Improper air pressure to the air springs
a. Adjust the air pressure at regulator valve to increase ride spring
pressure.
b. Verify sufficient pressure to the air control system, see Air Pressure Load
Charts in the Air Pressure Load Information Section of this publication.
Air control system not properly installed
Check plumbing of air system, refer to Publication No. OM-H719
Lift axle mounted too high or incorrect ride
height specification
a. Spec a larger diameter tire, if desired height is not achieved then,
change axle seat height
Lift axle air springs not getting proper air
pressure
a. Check system air pressure
b. Check air system plumbing, refer to Publication No. OM-H719
c. Check lift spring pressure
Interference with chassis, drive line or other
components
Inspect for interference
Lift axle not installed properly
Check installation with factory installation drawing
Insufficient load in the air system
Adjust the air pressure at regulator valve to increase ride spring pressure.
Unbalanced tires
Balance tires
Re-torque to factory torque values, see Torque Specification Section of this
publication
Pivot bolt connection loose
Re-torque to factory torque values, see Torque Specification Section of this
publication
Different size tires on each side
Use same size tires
Tires are unbalanced
Balance tires
Air pressure in tires different from side to side
Equalize air pressure in tires
Incorrect air line plumbing
Correct air plumbing, refer to Hendrickson Publication No. OM-H719
Lift axle is not raised before vehicle turns
or curves greater than 90 degrees are
navigated.
TO MINIMIZE PREMATURE TIRE WEAR OR POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO LIFT AXLE
COMPONENTS, THE LIFT AXLE MAY BE RAISED TO THE UP POSITION PRIOR
TO NAVIGATING A 90 DEGREE OR TIGHTER CURVE OR TURN. COMPLY WITH
ALL FEDERAL, STATE / PROVINCIAL AND / OR LOCAL WEIGHT, DIMENSION AND
CONFIGURATION REGULATIONS UNDER LOADED AND UNLOADED CONDITIONS.
Re‑align axle. Reference Hendrickson Publication No. TP-H621
