BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION

1. Read through this manual and ensure you can complete the installation once started.
2. It is recommended to use a good quality anti-seize on all fasteners. This will reduce the chance of corrosion on the fasteners and will help facilitate removal if required at a later date.

PLEASE NOTE
Using scissors or wire cutters to cut the nylon airline will distort the line and cause the connection to leak. THE AIRLINE MUST BE CUT OFF SQUARELY WITH THE NYLON HOSE CUTTER OR A SHARP UTILITY KNIFE

CONTROL BOARD INSTALLATION

• This kit is designed to be installed along the frame rail of pickup trucks, see Figure 1A.
• Check for clearance along the frame rail to ensure that the kit will not interfere with anything once installed.
• Fasten the control board to the two frame brackets using the supplied 5/16” cap screws, nuts, and washers.
• Torque the hardware to 23 N•m [17 ft-lbs]. Refer to Figure 1B.
• Mount the control board as high as possible on the frame rail and in the orientation shown in Figure 1C on the following page.
• Do NOT mount the controller or compressor assembly directly on the engine or other components exhibiting harsh vibration
• Do NOT mount the controller or compressor assembly in areas where ambient temperature exceeds 70°C [158°F]
• Securely install the Control Board Assembly onto the frame rail of the vehicle using 2 U-bolts, 4 flat washers, and 4 Nyloc nuts. (Refer to Figure 1C for configuration and assembly).
• Check to ensure the control board/compressor and mounting brackets do not pinch or interfere with vehicle components.

CONTROL BOARD HARNESS

Using Figure 2A as a reference, route the red/black/white harness from the control board to the engine bay. Extend/trim the harness as necessary. Strip the end of the black wire and crimp the supplied ring terminal to it. Connect the ring terminal to the negative terminal of the battery. If the negative terminal of the battery is not accessible, an external chassis ground may be used provided it has clean contact. Use the blue heat-shrinkable splice to connect the fuse holder to the red wire. Crimp the male spade terminal to the other end of the fuse holder.

Use the blue 16-14 AWG T-tap and crimp it onto a 12VDC switched ignition source, then connect the male spade terminal to the T-Tap. The T-tap can be crimped onto a constant 12VDC source – giving the user the ability to control their air springs without having to power the truck on. The controller consumes approximately 35-80mA in standby mode, which will slowly discharge the battery.

COMPRESSOR RELAY HARNESS
Using Figure 2B (on the following page) as a reference, find a location to mount the relay receptacle within 12” of the positive battery terminal. Route the red/black wires with a plug along the control board harness and connect to the matching plug at the compressor. Use the supplied zip ties to secure both the compressor and control board harnesses away from heat sources and moving components.

Connect the ring terminal crimped to two black wires to the negative terminal of the battery. If the negative terminal of the battery is not accessible, an external chassis ground may be used provided it has clean contact. Connect the fuse holder to the positive terminal of the battery. Locate the white wire on the control board harness, trim the heat-shrunk end, and strip the end. Connect this white wire with the white signal wire of the relay harness using the pre-installed red heat-shrinkable splice.

PLUMBING

• Refer to the system diagram on page 3 for the following instructions.
• Use the supplied tube cutter to cut the airline. Using scissors may distort the line and cause the fitting to leak.
• Connect the input of the solenoid block to the outlet of the compressor using a section of black airline.
• Connect the air intake filter to the inlet of the compressor using a section of black airline. Mount the filter housing in a clean, dry area sheltered from road spray and debris.
• Connect the inlet of the DRIVER side air spring to the LEFT port on the solenoid block using the red airline.
• Connect the inlet of the PASSENGER side air spring to the RIGHT port on the solenoid block using the green airline. Ensure the airlines between the control board and air springs are of equal lengths.
• Use the supplied zip ties to secure the airlines away from heat sources and moving components

Air Spring Inflation/Deflation
Press and hold the Inflation or Deflation button to adjust the pressure in the air springs. Use the Air Spring Selection tab to select which air spring to inflate/deflate. The wireless app does not limit the minimum or maximum pressure in your air springs. Inflate your air springs according to your air spring manufacturer’s guidelines.

Presets Tab
Use the Presets Tab to save pressure presets. Press and hold one of the preset buttons to save the current pressure value as a preset. A message on the bottom of the screen will indicate that the preset has been saved. Use these presets anytime to quickly adjust to the desired pressure.

Bluetooth Toggle
The Bluetooth Toggle illuminates when it has successfully connected to the wireless controller. Tap the Bluetooth toggle to manually connect or disconnect from the controller.
NOTE: The app automatically connects to the controller on start-up.

Air Spring Selection
Select which air spring to inflate/deflate by tapping on the Left, Both, or Right buttons.

Pressure Indicator
The Pressure Indicator shows the pressure of each air spring with an accuracy of ± 5% over the entire range. The presets allow for rapid adjustment to the desired pressure (± 1 PSI)

LEAK TEST
Inflate both air springs to 90 PSI and wait for the pressure readings on the application to stabilize. Allow this pressure to remain in the system for a few minutes and ensure that it is not dropping. If the pressure is slowly decreasing over several minutes, use soapy water on all airline connections to detect any air leaks. Repair as necessary and retest.  Inflate the air springs to a predetermined value, and on the following day recheck the pressure. If one or both of the air springs have lost pressure, an air leak is present. The leak must be repaired and then retested until no leaks exist.

Congratulations!
You have completed the installation. Please proceed to the warranty information and operating guidelines & disclaimers

WARRANTY

To be eligible for a warranty, the owner must submit their warranty card or register online within 30 days of the purchase date. Refer to the Warranty Sheet is included in this kit for more information. Operating your vehicle with Air Suspension Air springs have minimum and maximum pressure requirements. Never operate your vehicle with less than 10 PSI in the air spring and never inflate the air springs over 100 PSI. Staying within the pressure limit will ensure maximum air spring life.

Failure to do so may void the warranty. Check the air pressure in the air springs daily for the first couple of days to ensure a leak does not develop (see Leak Test, above). The air springs are designed to maintain the vehicle’s stock ride height with a load. Do not use the air springs as a means to lift the vehicle with no load. A rough ride may result. Servicing your vehicle with Air Suspension When lifting the vehicle with a floor jack or hoist on the frame, never allow the air spring to limit the travel of the axle. Try to always jack the vehicle on the axle. Suspending the axle with the air spring limiting the axle travel will damage the air spring and void the air spring warranty.
