12. Complete passenger and driver’s side installation of air spring assembly.
13.Select a location for the air inflation valves. The location can be on the bumper
or body of the vehicle where an air chuck can be used to inflate the air springs.
Select a location where the valve will not be damaged or interfere with the opera-
tion of other components.
14.Cut air brake lines to length and connect air lines to fittings by pushing the air line
into the air fittings as far as possible.
WHEN CUTTING AIR BRAKE TUB-
ING, A SQUARE CUT IS REQUIRED AND THE HOSE END MUST NOT
BE DEFORMED OR LEAKAGE MAY RESULT. IF DEFORMATION OF
THE HOSE END OCCURS, THE HOSE END MUST BE REWORKED SO
THAT IT IS ROUND. Engagement of the sealing O-ring will be felt when the
air line has been inserted properly into the fitting. Fittings may be disconnected if
required by pushing down on the outer ring while pulling firmly on the air line.
Route air lines away from exhaust pipes or any other sources of heat and ensure
that the air lines are protected from sharp edges. A length of heat shielding is
provided to protect the air line as it exits the passenger side air spring.
15.Inflate air springs to 40 psi and check for leaks. A soapy water solution can be
used to find slow leaks.
16.When satisfied with integrity of the system, adjust air pressure to desired level.
The air springs can be inflated to any level between 10 and 100 psi. DO NOT run
the air springs empty or warranty will be void. MINIMUM air spring pressure is 5
psi. Failure to keep air in the air springs will void the warranty.
For best RIDE
use only enough air pressure as required to level the vehicle. If a firmer ride is
desired, more pressure can be used.
17.Check air pressure in the system regularly to ensure system performance and
maintenance of warranty. Just like tires, the air pressure in the system will vary
due to temperature changes. For your air spring system to function properly it
must be checked on a regular basis.
