ROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

Air spring will not inflate

Ensure that the air line tubing is inserted into the air fittings as far as possible. The tubing should go in the fitting 3/4 of

an inch. You will feel some resistance when the tubing goes past the o-ring.

Clear any dirt of debris from inside the inflation valves.

Inspect the entire length of air line tubing to ensure that it is not kinked, damaged from exhaust heat, or cut due to contact

with sharp edges

Air spring will not hold air

Normal pressure loss is no more than 3 - 4 psi per week when the air spring is inflated to 50 psi.

Using the inflation valve cap as a core tool, ensure that the valve stem core is installed securely.

Apply a solution of soap and water to the air fittings, air line, and air springs to check for leaks. Tighten the air fitting or

re-install the tubing in the air fitting to stop the leak. Rinse the soap and water solution from the system when complete.

The vehicle is not level

Check for proper inflation of the air springs on each side of the vehicle.

Check for obstructions in the air system or vehicle components that

may be restricting suspension travel.

If a leak can not be detected with the soap and water solution, deflate the air springs and remove them from the vehicle.

Re-install the tubing and inflation valve on the air spring and inflate the air spring to a maximum of 20 psi. Submerge the

air sp

ring in a bucket of water to check for leaks.

Locations of air leaks

Leaks occur most often at the threaded connection between the air fittings and the air springs. Tighten the fitting to

engage the pre-applied orange thread sealant or until the nylon collar makes contact with the air spring, plus 1/2 turn,

depending on which type of fitting is included in your kit. (See air fittings on page 3)

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS

TO AVOID LEAKS

The end of the air line tubing must be cut square and clean to avoid burrs in the connection to the air fittings. The

push-to-connect fittings require a square cut to properly seal. The tubing can be removed from the fitting by first

releasing the air pressure from the air spring. Push the collar on the fitting toward the body of the fitting. While holding

the collar in, pull out the tubing. Cut the tubing squarely and push the

tubing into the fitting as far as possible.
