INSTALLING THE AIR LINES
1. Choose a convenient location for mounting the inflation valves. Popular locations for the
inflation valve are:
a. The wheel well flanges
b . The license plate recess in bumper
c . Under the gas cap access door
d . Through the license plate
Whatever the chosen location, make sure there is enough clearance around the inflation
valves for an air chuck.
2. Drill two 5/16” holes to install the inflation valves.
3 . Cut the air line assembly in two equal lengths .
WHEN CUTTING OR TRIMMING THE AIR LINE, USE A HOSE CUTTER, A RAZOR BLADE,
OR A SHARP KNIFE . A CLEAN, SQUARE CUT WILL ENSURE AGAINST LEAKS . DO
NOT USE WIRE CUTTERS OR SCISSORS TO CUT THE AIR LINE . THESE TOOLS MAY
FLATTEN OR CRIMP THE AIR LINE CAUSING IT TO LEAK AROUND THE O-RING SEAL
INSIDE THE ELBOW FITTING (FIG . 10) .

CAUTION
4. Place a 5/16” nut and star washer on the air valve. Leave enough of the inflation valve
in front of the nut to extend through the hole and have room for the rubber washer, flat
washer, and 5/16” nut and cap . There should be enough valve exposed after installation—
approximately ½”— to easily apply a pressure gauge or an air chuck (fig. 11).
5 . Push the inflation valve through the hole and use the rubber washer, flat washer, and
another 5/16” nut to secure it in place . Tighten the nuts to secure the assembly (fig .
11) .
