STEP 8 — INSTALL THE INFLATION VALVE

Drill a 5/16" hole and install the air inflation valve using

two 5/16" flat washers as supports, see Figure “D”. Run

the tubing from the air helper spring to the inflation valve,

routing it to avoid direct heat from the exhaust pipe and

away from sharp edges.

Cut the excess air line tubing so that it will fit eas-

ily into the inflation valve, making sure the end is cut

squarely (a "saw" cut with a sharp knife is preferred). The

air line tubing should not be bent or curved sharply, as

it may buckle. Secure the tubing in place with the nylon

ties provided. Push the end of the air line tubing into the

inflation valve, see Figure “D”.

FOLLOW STEPS 2-8 FOR THE OTHER AIR SPRING.

STEP 9 — INFLATE AND TEST

Inflate the air springs to recommended maximum operat-

ing pressure (see page 1 for operating pressures). With

an applied solution of soap and water, check for air leaks

around the fittings and valve core. Replace the wheels and

torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer's specification.

Jack the vehicle up, remove the jack stands, and lower

the vehicle to the ground. Remove the wheel chocks from

the front wheels. Reattach the negative battery cable. We

recommend inflating and deflating in 5 p.s.i. increments

to find the ideal riding condition for your vehicle.
