Proceed with the second section of air line on the other side of the control panel. (Hint: The left paddle switch should

inflate the left air spring and the right paddle switch should control the right). Route one of the air line tubing sections

from the barbed fitting on the air control panel to the rear of the vehicle being careful not to fold or kink the air line tubing.

Cut the air line tubing as squarely as possible and insert the air line tubing into the push-to-connect fitting on the air

spring. Repeat the above step for the other side of the air control panel. Use the nylon ties included in the kit to secure

the air line to the vehicle. At this time the air control panel should be connected to both air springs.

Note: Avoid sharp edges, exhaust systems and other areas that may cause damage to the air line tubing.

TTACHING THE AIR CONTROL PANEL TO THE DASH

Place the air control panel on the dash where the holes were drilled in step 1. Using the machine screws and nuts provided

in the kit attach the air control panel to the dash or other appropriate surface, see Figure "B".

REPARING AND ROUTING THE ELECTRICAL WIRE

Enclosed in the air control kit is 15' of 18 gage multistrand wire. Determine the length of wire needed to reach the orange

wire on the compressor to either white wire on the paddle switch. Cut and strip both ends of the wire 1/4". Using electrical pliers

crimp one female spade connector to one end of the wire, then crimp another female spade connector to the other end of the

wire see Figure "A". After the connectors are attached to the wires, slide the male and female connectors together at the

compressor. Note: The wire can be attached to either spade connector on the back of the paddle switch. After the compressor

and gauge have been connected determine another length of wire to reach an ignition activated hot wire from the second white

wire on the back of the paddle switch. Cut and strip one end of the wire 1/4". Using your electrical pliers crimp one female

spade connector to the end of the wire just stripped, slide the male and female connectors on the air control panel together as

shown in Figure "A". Insert the inline fuse connector between the wire connector and the gauge as shown in Figure "A". Cut

the wire and insert each end into the fuse connector and crimp using your pliers. Insert the 20 amp. fuse. Connect the wire

to a minimum 20 amp positive ignition circuit using the wire connector provided, see Figure "A" & "D". Pliers may be

used to assist in closing the wire connector completely.

IRING THE AIR CONTROL PANEL FOR ILLUMINATION

Cut two pieces of wire, one should reach a suitable fused dash panel circuit for illumination (positive) the other should reach

a suitable ground source. Consult the vehicle manufacturers electrical diagram. See Figure "D" for wiring and connector

application.

NOTE: Should additional wire be necessary, use 18 gage multistrand wire.

OU ARE NOW READY TO TEST THE SYSTEM

With the Ride-Rite air accessory kit and Firestone suspension products installed you are ready to test the system. Turn on

the ignition. Push the paddle switch up, air pressure should read on the gauge showing how much air pressure is in the air aprings.

Each of the air line tubing connections can be inspected with a soap and water solution applied to the fittings were the air line

enters the fitting. If a leak is detected the air line may not be pushed all the way in or cut squarely.

NOTE: The air control accessory kit is designed to monitor the air pressure in the air springs not the pressure between

the air compressor and the gauge. If no air is reaching the air springs, the air line tubing connections may be reversed.

Please review these connections.

YSTEM OPERATION

When the vehicle is loaded, the rear of the vehicle may drop several inches. The air control accessory kit allows the air springs

to be inflated from inside the vehicle. Push the paddle up to inflate the air springs and push the paddle down to deflate the air

springs.
