TO AIR SPRING

FROM AIR SOURCE

To inflate the air springs simply push the

paddle up until the desired air pressure is

reached.

To deflate the air springs push the paddle

down.

The illumination light should be attached

to a suitable dash panel circuit (consult

vehicle manufactureres electrical diagram).

Select a mounting surface under the dash of your vehicle or other

protected location. Mark a 3/16" diameter hole at each of the mounting

points, use the air control panel as a template for marking the holes. Drill

two 3/16" diameter holes at each of the marked areas, refer to Figure "B".

Do not attach the panel at this time.

TEP

Take the compressor from the kit and install the 1/8" straight

fitting into the head of the compressor as shown in Figure "A". Using

your electrical pliers crimp the ring connector to the black wire and

crimp the male spade connector to the orange wire.

TEP

There are two wires one red and one black attached to the gauge on the

back of the air control panel for illumination. Strip the black wire 1/4"

leaving the wire exposed. Crimp the ring connector to the black wire,

see Figure "A". (Completion of the red wire connection in step 10)

TEP

Select a convenient location for mounting the air compressor. This

location should provide ample air flow and be protected from airborne

debris. Apply the foam pad to the mounting surface by removing the

paper backing and applying to the mounting surface. Using the compressor

bracket straddle the foam pad and mark the two holes to be drilled with a

center punch, see Figure "A". Drill the two holes using a 1/4" drill bit.

Please be careful and look behind the hole locations to avoid any lines or

electrical wires. Mount the compressor using the 1/4" X 1" hex bolts, lock

washers and hex nuts, see Figure "A". Attach the black ground wire

to a ground source using the ring terminal attached in step 2.

TEP

If there is no air pressure in the air springs please proceed with step 6.

If there is air pressure in the air springs, both must be deflated. This is done

by taking the valve core out of the external inflation valve(s) or use a tire

gauge to remove the air from the air springs by depressing the valve stem.

TEP

Cut a piece of air line tubing that will reach from the air control panel

to the compressor. Before attaching the air line tubing to the air control

panel soak one end (approximately 1") of the air line tubing in warm water

for a few minutes. Do not use pliers to work the air line onto the barbed

fitting, doing so may damage the tubing. Install and route the air line

tubing from the barbed "T" fitting on the air control panel to the

compressor as shown in Figure "A"& "C". A hole may need to be drilled

in the fire wall to enable the air line to pass through the fire wall to the

compressor. Remember that 3 pieces of air line will pass through the hole

in the fire wall. Make sure the air line tubing is protected from sharp

edges. Do not fold or kink the air line tubing. The air control panel and

compressor should now be connected.

You will need two lengths of air line tubing, one for each air spring.
