Air Lift Performance Introduction The purpose of this publication is to assist with the installation, operation and troubleshooting of the AutoPilot V2 kit. It is important to read and understand the entire installation guide before beginning installation or performing any maintenance, service or repair. The information includes step-by-step installation information, installation templates and a troubleshooting guide.

Air Lift Performance Installing the AutoPilot V2 Kit INSTALL COMPONENTS NOTE CAUTION For a complete schematic, please see fig. 15. (pages 10-11) BEST PRACTICE IS TO LOCATE THE MANIFOLD UNIT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IF EXTERNAL MOUNTING IS DESIRED, THE MANIFOLD MUST BE LOCATED IN AN AREA SHIELDED FROM DIRECT WATER SPRAY FROM TIRES OR CAR WASHES. THE MANIFOLD SHOULD BE CONSIDERED “WATER RESISTANT” NOT “WATERPROOF”. Layout 1. Plan component location first.

Air Lift Performance This represents the top of the vehicle frame or any custom setup (and is the same for figures 1b and 1c). fig. 1a fig. 1b PREFERRED NOTE ACCEPTABLE fig. 1c ABSOLUTELY NOT! Air compressors intake moisture (humidity) from the outside air and will deposit water in the air tank.

Air Lift Performance • • • Using a butt connector attach the RED compressor wire to the PINK harness wire. Using a butt connector attach the BLACK compressor wire to the BLACK harness wire. Carefully apply heat (preferably with a heat gun) to seal these connections. 3. Battery / ignition connections (see fig. 15) • Identify the power, ground, + ignition leg of the harness. • Ground: 10AWG black wire; Power: 10AWG red wire; Ignition: 18AWG pink wire.

Air Lift Performance SYSTEM CALIBRATION AND SETTINGS fig. 2 1. Key-on/power up, and compressor should come on to fill the tank. Check to make sure system is triggered by IGNITION source. While starting the engine, the system should be ON. If not, please refer back to the “Install Harness” section. 2. Press buttons 1 and 5 simultaneously (1+5) and hold for 5-10 seconds until settings and diagnostics mode main page appears (fig. 3).
PAGE 11
Air Lift Performance Automatic Preset Maintenance Press button 4 (fig. 3) to enter PRESET MAINTAIN. Press button 8 to turn ON or OFF (fig. 7). When ON, this function actively monitors air spring pressure and fills to maintain active preset pressure when average pressure drops below a threshold due to a system leak. NOTE fig. 7 PRESET MAINTAIN? ON This function will not exhaust pressure.
PAGE 12
Air Lift Performance Program Presets Program Preset 1 NOTE fig. 2 Preset 1 should always be entered as the desired ride pressure for the RISE ON START function. Determine desired ride pressures: press buttons (1+5) simultaneously to toggle display to MANUAL mode. Manually activate each corner (see MANUAL mode section page 13) to achieve desired “normal driving” ride pressure (fig. 11). Program preset 1: press buttons (1+5) simultaneously to toggle display to PRESET mode (fig. 12).

Air Lift Performance Operating the System Now that your system is set up, it’s time to use it. If changes are made after installing and calibrating the system such as changes to air springs, lines, tank, or compressor, the system must be recalibrated to maintain system accuracy. There are two operational modes: PRESET and MANUAL. Pressing buttons (1+5) simultaneously will toggle between modes. After 10 seconds of non-use, the display enters standby where the LCD dims.
PAGE 16
Air Lift Performance MANUAL Mode 1. MANUAL mode allows the user to fill or exhaust each spring independently. The display will show arrows above and below the pressures to indicate manual control mode (fig. 17). The arrow will be solid when the spring is filling/exhausting, and outlined when not active. 2. The system detects button press time. For a very short (<0.1sec) duration press, the system will open the valves for a defined “burst”, changing pressure minimally so users can fine-tune their pressures.
