LEVELING
VALVE
• The solenoid valve remains in the
OPEN position; this holds the relay
valve in the applied position.
• The delivery from the leveling
valve maintains the drive and tag
suspension air bags at the same
pressure. The delivery air travels
through the backfeed and limiting
valves to the drive axle, and through
the relay valve to the tag axle.
