SCHEMATIC

Overview
The following illustration (Figure 1) will give you an overview of how the Up Down Air® air delivery system works. The illustration will not only help understand how the system works but also help you identify the parts for installation. Please note that the illustration is not to scale.

KIT LAYOUT AND AIR LINE ASSEMBLY

If quick connect chucks come pre-assembled please skip to the next page Using the Bill of Materials identify and lay out all your kit components confirming that you have all the correct parts and quantity. For our first step, we will assemble the Quick Disconnect Chucks for the tire whips. You will need a 14mm wrench, a 16mm wrench, and a thread sealer.

1. Apply thread sealer to the 01-109 and screw into 01-100 and stop when hand tight.
2. Once the hand is tight continue to tighten for 2-3 full rotations using the wrenches. Repeat for all.
3. Insert the green airline into each end of Quick Disconnect Chuck. Repeat for all.

if chucks begin to leak upon connection, remove and switch ends to allow the internal plunger to reset itself.

Our next step is to assemble all the airlines that are installed in your Jeep. We will start with the 3/8” air line assemblies. Gather all the 3/8” black airline, split loom, Body Mount Schrader Valves, and “Y” connectors.

1. Put one 01-201 (Body Mount Schrader Valve) on one end of each airline.
2. Next, pull each airline through each split loom.
3. Next, insert one long and one short air line assembly into the “Y” connector and repeat. You should now have two “Y” assemblies.

Gather all the 3/8” black airline, split loom, and the “T” connector.

1. Pull each airline through each split loom.
2. Install the 62” and 28” airline into the “T” connector making one long piece
3. Install the 17” airline in the perpendicular port of the “T” connector.

SCHRADER VALVE PLACEMENT FRONT

This is where we will be drilling the holes to place the Body Mount Schrader valves on the body of your Jeep. The places we have selected are recommended but are not the only places to mount the Body Mount Schrader valves. We have included a little extra length of the airline to allow for alternate mounting spots.
Starting on the passenger’s side front wheel will locate a spot on the inner fender closest to the firewall.

• On 13-up locate in the rectangle recess.
• 07-12 anywhere that the tire will clear under full lock.

Drill a 5/16” hole. Repeat on the driver’s side.

SCHRADER VALVE PLACEMENT REAR

• Mounting option with factory side steps
  Your hole must be located as low as possible on the pinch weld just above the bend. Starting with the rear of the Jeep locate the spot weld on the passenger’s side rear body seam. Drill one 5/16 hole as low as possible. Repeat on the driver’s side.

• Mounting option without factory side steps
  Starting with the rear of the Jeep locate the spot weld on the passenger’s side rear body seam. Drill one 5/16 hole making sure the leave enough material to hold the Schrader valve.

Repeat on the driver’s side.

INSTALLATION OF AIRLINE AND SCHRADER VALAVES

The airlines that you pre-assembled are in four sections:

• (2) 3/8” Front to Rear “Y” sections with Schrader valves attached (91”)
• (1) 3/8” Firewall Cross-over with 3/8” “Tee” attached (85”+ 28”)
• (1) Cross-over “T” to ADS Control Unit (18”)

First, lay in the 3/8” firewall cross-over section. You will want it to follow the factory wiring harness along the top of the rear firewall. Insert the end without the “T” in the corner gap between the battery and the intersection of the firewall and fender on the passenger side. Next, run it over to the driver’s side placing the end with the “T” in the corner gap between the brake booster and the intersection of the firewall and fender on the driver’s side. The “T” will end up over the brake booster. Do not fasten it in place yet.

Next, we will install the passenger side airline with the body Schrader’s attached.

• First, select one of the 3/8” Front to Rear “Y” sections with Schrader valves attached go to the front passenger side, and lay the “Y” fitting towards the front of your Jeep. Pull the 3/8” firewall cross-over tube down until it is visible and accessible to the “Y” and connect.
• Next, install the passenger front Schrader into the 5/16 hole you drilled in the inner fender liner. Install washers and nuts and tighten with a 13mm socket.
• Now take the long air line going to the rear of the passenger side and run it along the top of the frame rail behind the body mounts.
• Next, install the passenger rear Schrader into the 5/16 hole you drilled in the pinch rail. Install nut and tighten with 13mm socket.
• Now you can pull the slack from the firewall cross-over tube back up into the engine compartment. Repeat on the driver’s side. Tie Wrap the rear air lines to the harness that runs the length of the frame rail on the top side in three spots.
• Install the short 3/8 tube from the center of the “T” run it under the horn and set it by the abs unit.

HORN AND RELAYRE  LOCATING

For installation of the rear-mounted controller (269-0717), you will need to relocate your factory High note horn and OEM relays. Your first step will be removing the relays mounted on the driver-side fender near the firewall

Start by removing the plastic push rivet that holds the 2 relays in place. Once the rivet is removed you will move the relays further down and secure to the factory jeep wiring harness with a zip tie so that it is out of the way.

Horn re-locating
We can now start relocating the high-note horn. Begin by unplugging the horn and removing the bracket that holds the horn (10mm) remove the horn from the bracket and attach the bracket to the stud next to the brake booster shown in the pictures below. (your jeep comes with 2 separate horns. Removal of one can be done to avoid the next steps and you will still have a functioning horn )

Once the bracket is in place you can now attach your horn in the new location. You will need to extend the factory wires or just make a jumper cable to make up for the length change in the new location

INSTALLATION OF FRONT MOUNT ADS CONTROLLER

Now we will install the Rear Mount ADS Controller into the engine bay. This is a simple bolt-in operation. You will need a 10mm wrench or socket.

• Remove the rearmost fender and ABS mount bolts using a 10mm wrench.
• Connect the 3/8 airline from the firewall cross-over to the ADS Controller. You may need to trim for the best fit.

FINAL INSTALLATION INSPECTION

Congratulations!
You have now completed the installation of your new ARB Compressor and or ADS System.

WARNING : YOUR REGULATOR HAS NOT BEEN PRESET FROM THE FACORY, AND MUST BE SET AFTER INSTALLATION.

How To Use Your UP Down Air® Air Delivery System

Airing down your tire pressure
While the vehicle is parked and in a safe place, connect all 4 quick connect hoses to your tire valve stems and to the installed 90° Schrader valves. In the engine bay, go to the controller box. On the right-side controller box is the release valve lever. Open the release valve and now you’re airing down all 4 of your tires at the same time. Close the valve and it will now read your current tire’s air pressure.

It’s That Simple!
The first time you air down your tires, keep track of how long it takes so you can set a timer the next time you air down your tires. Checking and Setting your Tire & regulator pressures or airing up your tires.

This is how the system works for airing up:

• Our ADS System uses a simple dial-type pressure regulator that can be adjusted to allow more or less air in the system by turning the black regulator knob clockwise to release the air or counter-clockwise to reduce the air pressure. With your green Quick Connect hoses completely removed, turn the compressor on, and within 10 seconds the compressor should come to a stop or turn on & off. The pressure gauge needle will show the pressure from the compressor. This is how you dial the regulator in to set your desired Tire Pressure. You should now push the knob down to set it. To fill all 4 of your tires you will need to tightly connect all 4 quick connect hoses to your tire’s valve stems and to our special 90 °Schrader valve stems. To ensure there are no leaks, please rotate the chucks a quarter turn clockwise to create a tight seal to the valve stems.
• Now after connecting all 4 of the quick-connect hoses to the valve stems and the Schrader valves, the gauge dial needle will read the pressure from all 4 of the tires. At this time, you may start your engine and turn the compressor on. While your compressor is connected and turned on, along with your vehicle being started, start turning the dial clockwise to allow for higher PSI. Turn the dial counterclockwise to lower the PSI.
• When the compressor pulsates or turns on and off, and you are not at your set tire pressure, then immediately turn the black knob clockwise to allow air to escape into the regulator’s lower chamber. This will re-activate the ARB compressor, and as you turn the dial, you will notice the compressor speeding up. If your tires are at the desired pressure, you may now turn your compressor off and safely store your hoses with the convenient storage bag provided.
• Do not let the compressor cycle on and off, as this means your ARB compressor is not supplying any more airflow, so the compressor is not producing any further air at this time and should be turned off immediately to avoid blowing fuses. If you’re ARB compressor blows a fuse or suggestion is to go to an auto parts store and buy a name-brand 50 AMP fuse as the ARB seems to be equipped with a lesser quality fuse.

We sure hope you enjoy your system our goal is to offer trouble-free easy-to- use products.
