Safety Instructions:
Do not exceed the maximum load recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. Avoid lifting the vehicle by the frame after installing the air spring to prevent over-extension.

Installing the Airline:

2. Apply thread sealant to the fitting’s thread and attach it to the air spring.
3. Connect the airline from the fill valve to the air spring.
4. When cutting or trimming the air line, use a hose cutter, razor blade, or sharp knife for a clean, square cut to prevent leaks. Do not use wire cutters or scissors.

• Solution 1: Ensure the airline is fully inserted into the air spring’s fitting.
• Solution 2: Clean the inside of the inflation valve to remove any dirt or debris blocking the air.

• Solution 1: Use a soap and water solution on air connections and air springs to check for leaks.
• Solution 2: Re-install the airline in the air spring’s fitting.

The vehicle is not level:

• Solution 1: Check if each air spring in the vehicle is properly inflated.
• Solution 2: Look for any obstructions in the air system or vehicle components restricting normal suspension travel.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not exceed the maximum load recommended by your vehicle manufacturer.
• Once the air spring is installed it is recommended that the vehicle not be lifted by the frame, as over-extension may occur, resulting in damage to the air spring. However if you need to raise the vehicle by the frame, deflate the air spring completely.
• Employ equipment for eye protection during drilling operations.
• Ensure that your air system has no pressure before you begin.

Do not inflate the air spring when it is unrestricted. The air spring must be restricted by the vehicle’s suspension or similar structure. Do not inflate beyond the pressure recommended in this manual. Improper use or over inflation may cause property damage or severe personal injury

INSTALLING THE AIRLINE

• A single 1/2″ NPT fitting is required to connect the airline, we recommend push to connect type.
• Apply thread sealant to fitting’s thread and attach it to the air spring.
• Connect the airline coming from the “fill valve” to the air spring. IMPORTANT: When cutting or trimming the air line, use a hose cutter, a razor blade, or a sharp knife. A clean, square cut will ensure against leaks. DO NOT USE WIRE CUTTERS OR SCISSORS TO CUT THE AIR LINE. These tools may flatten or crimp the air line causing it to leak.
