Greetings all
I would like once again to avail myself of the vast store of knowledge that is the
Forum.
I have an air locker fitted to the Cruiser. After using the original air pump to inflate a heap of tyres the abovementioned pump threw in the towel. I am in the process of fitting a much larger unit to hopefully carry out both duties without stressing too much.
Question, what is the correct air pressure to engage the diff lock without damaging the internal seals? I rang our local ARB agent and was told that 5 PSI was required. I asked if he meant 5 atmospheres/ BAR (about 75 PSI). The phone went quiet for a while and when he came back assured me that 5 PSI was correct. This seems awfully light on to me, but having been wrong once or twice before I thought it might be a good idea to ask before I blow something up. The original would inflate tyres to road pressures without any problems and I did not see any pressure regulator to reduce to 5PSI for diff operation.
HELP!!!
Cheers pop
PS Yes i know that volume and pressure are 2 different things.
