DO NOT CUT THE AIR LINE COMPLETELY OFF AS THIS WILL NICK THE BARB AND
RENDER THE FITTING USELESS.

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
By following these steps, vehicle owners will obtain the longest life and best results from their
air spring.
1.
Check the air pressure weekly.
2. Always maintain normal ride height. Never inflate beyond 100 p.s.i.
3.
If you develop an air leak in the system, use a soapy water solution to check all air line
connections and the inflation valve core, before deflating and removing the spring.
4.
When increasing load, always adjust the air pressure to maintain normal ride height.
Increase or decrease pressure from the system as necessary to attain normal ride height
for optimal ride and handling. Remember that loads carried behind the axle (including
tongue loads) require more leveling force (pressure) than those carried directly over the
axle.
FOR YOUR SAFETY AND TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO YOUR VEHICLE, DO NOT EXCEED
MAXIMUM GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR), AS INDICATED BY THE VEHICLE
MANUFACTURER. ALTHOUGH YOUR AIR SPRINGS ARE RATED AT A MAXIMUM
INFLATION PRESSURE OF 100 P.S.I., THE AIR PRESSURE ACTUALLY NEEDED IS
DEPENDENT ON YOUR LOAD AND GVWR.
5.
Always add air to the springs in small quantities, checking the pressure frequently. Sleeves
require less air volume than a tire and inflate quickly.
6.
Should it become necessary to raise the vehicle by the frame, make sure the system is
at a minimum pressure (5 p.s.i.) to reduce tension on the suspension/brake components.
Use of on-board leveling systems do not require deflation or disconnection.
