Congratulations - your new Air Helper Springs are quality
products capable of improving the handling and comfort of
your vehicle. As with all products, proper installation is the key
to obtaining all of the benefits your kit is capable of delivering.
Please take a few minutes to read through the instructions to
identify the components and learn where and how they are used.
It is a good idea to start by comparing the parts in your kit with
the parts list below.
The heart of the air helper spring kit is, of course, the air
springs. Remember that the air helper springs must flex and
expand during operation, so be sure that there is enough
clearance to do so without rubbing against any other part of the
vehicle.
Be sure to take all applicable safety precautions during the
installation of the kit. The instructions listed in this brochure
and the illustrations all show the right, or passenger’s side of the
vehicle. To install the left side assembly simply follow the same
procedures.
This kit includes inflation valves and air lines for each air
spring. This will allow you to compensate for unbalanced
loads. If you would rather have a single inflation valve system
to provide equal pressure to both air springs, your dealer can
supply the optional "T" fitting.

!
For your safety and to prevent possible damage to your
vehicle, do not exceed the maximum load recommended by
the vehicle manufacturer (GVWR). Although your Air Helper
Springs are rated at a maximum inflation pressure of 100
psi, this pressure may allow you to carry too great a load on
some vehicles. It is best to have your vehicle weighed once
it is completely loaded and compare that weight to the
maximum allowed. Check your vehicle owner’s manual or
data plate on driver's side door for maximum loads listed
for your vehicle.
When inflating your Air Helper Springs, add air pressure
in small quantities, checking pressure frequently during
inflation. The air spring requires much less air volume
than a tire and, therefore, inflates much quicker.

ARNING
:
Do not inflate this assembly when it is unrestricted.
The assembly must be restricted by the suspension or
other adequate structure. Once installed, do not
inflate beyond 100 psi. Improper use or over inflation
may cause property damage or severe personal injury.
