Maintenance and Use Guidelines

1. Check air pressure weekly.

2. Always maintain normal ride height. Never inflate beyond 100 PSI (7BAR).

3. If the system develops an air leak, use a soapy water solution to check all air line

connections and the inflation valve core before deflating and removing the air spring.

FOR SAFETY AND TO PREVENT POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, DO NOT EXCEED

MAXIMUM GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR) OR PAYLOAD RATING, AS

INDICATED BY THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER.

ALTHOUGH THE AIR SPRINGS ARE RATED AT A MAXIMUM INFLATION PRESSURE OF

100 PSI (7BAR), THE AIR PRESSURE ACTUALLY NEEDED IS DEPENDENT ON LOAD AND

GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING.

 Clearance test — Inflate the air springs to 40-60 PSI (2.8-4.1BAR) and make sure

there is at least 1/2” (13mm) clearance from anything that might rub against each

sleeve. Be sure to check the tire, brakes, frame, shock absorbers and brake cables.

 Leak test before road test — Inflate the air springs to 40-60 PSI (2.8-4.1BAR) and

check all connections for leaks. All leaks must be eliminated before the vehicle is

road tested.

 Heat test — Be sure there is sufficient clearance from heat sources, at least 6” (152mm)

for air springs and air lines. If a heat shield was included in the kit, install it. If there is no

heat shield, but one is required, call Air Lift customer service at (800) 248-0892.

 Fastener test — Recheck all bolts for proper torque.

 Road test — The vehicle should be road tested after the preceding tests. Inflate the

springs to recommended driving pressures. Drive the vehicle 10 miles (16km) and

recheck for clearance, loose fasteners and air leaks.

 Operating instructions — If professionally installed, the installer should review the

operating instructions with the owner. Be sure to provide the owner with all of the

paperwork that came with the kit.
