Which connect do i use on hydraulic pump to place air in tires ?

[drjackmac]

I am a newbie with a 340 Legacy and came with a hydraulic hose with male connect. I don't know where to connect? Ty

Help me understand what a hydraulic pump and putting air in tires has to do with each other?

Could the extra hydraulic line be for bypassing a valve if a jack or slide wont retract?
Maybe left over from the assembly line?

If you have a hose with a make quick connect, it's most likely an air hose. For compressed air, open the "hood" like you're accessing the generator. Look on the driver side up high and you'll see a female quick connect that allows you to tie into the air system. You can use this to air up your tires so long as the engine (and thus the compressor) is running.

As for bypassing the hydraulic pump, you should have received a tool that looks sort of like a flexible screwdriver that fits in a drill. The end is an Allen wrench (hex key). If the hydraulic pump goes out, you use this tool with a drill to work the system manually. It requires you to set the calving manually, so you'll need to read up on that if it's ever needed.

Thank you just the info I was looking for. I was wondering what that tool was for.

When we picked up out rig last year, our dealer thought that was just a tool left on board by accident. I just ignored that and finally figured out what it was for once I got home.

Air hose are common on diesel pushers since they have air ride chassis and air brakes but the hydraulics is for jacks don't have anything to do with you air you are probably looking at onboard compressor
