OUTE THE AIR LINE
Cut the air line tubing into two equal lengths, making sure the
tubing is cut as squarely as possible (a "saw" cut with a sharp knife is
preferred). Select a location on the vehicle for the inflation valves. The
location can be on the bumper or body of the vehicle, as long as it is
a protected location so the valve will not be damaged, but maintain
accessibility for the air chuck see Figure "D". The inflation valve will
be installed in step 8.
Insert the air line tubing into the push-to-connect fitting on the air
spring as far as possible. Route the air line from the air spring to the
desired inflation valve location.
With the tubing routed from the air spring to the location of the
inflation valve use, the nylon ties supplied to secure the air line tubing
to the vehicle as shown in Figure "D". Be careful to avoid heat and
sharp edges when fastening the tubing to the vehicle. Route the tubing
away from the exhaust system.

NSTALL THE INFLATION VALVE
Drill a 5/16" hole and install the air inflation valve using two 5/16"
flat washers as supports see Figure "E". Run the tubing from the air
helper spring to the inflation valve, routing it to avoid direct heat from
the exhaust pipe and away from sharp edges.
Cut the excess air line tubing so that it will fit easily into the
inflation valve, making sure the end is cut squarely (a "saw" cut with
a sharp knife is preferred). The air line tubing should not be bent or
curved sharply, as it may buckle. Secure the tubing in place with the
nylon ties provided. Push the end of the air line tubing into the inflation
valve see Figure "E".

NFLATE AND TEST
Inflate the air springs to recommended maximum operating pressure
(see page 1 for operating pressures). With an applied solution of soap
and water, check for air leaks around the fittings and valve core.
Replace the wheels and torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer's
specification. Jack the vehicle up, remove the jack stands, and lower
the vehicle to the ground. Remove the wheel chocks from the front
wheels. Reattach the negative battery cable. We recommend inflating
and deflating in 5 p.s.i. increments to find the ideal riding condition for
your vehicle.
