The radiused (rounded) edge of the roll plate will be towards the air spring so that the air
spring is seated inside both roll plates (fig. 4).

wrench . Be careful to tighten on the metal hex nut only . DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN . (This
fitting is pre-coated with a sealant.)
3 . Place the upper bracket (B

The bellows assembly will offset (overhang) the lower bracket. Make sure that the offset is
on the air fitting side of the assembly.
