
Overnight leak down test — Recheck air pressure after the vehicle has been used for
24 hours. If the pressure has dropped more than 5 PSI (.34BAR), then there is a leak
that must be fixed. Either fix the leak yourself or return to the installer for service.

Air pressure requirements — Regardless of load, the air pressure should always be
adjusted to maintain ride height at all times.

Thirty day or 500 mile (800km) test —Recheck the air spring system after 30 days or 500
miles (800km), whichever comes first. If any part shows signs of rubbing or abrasion,
the source should be identified and moved, if possible. If it is not possible to relocate
the cause of the abrasion, the air spring may need to be remounted. If professionally
installed, the installer should be consulted. Check all fasteners for tightness.
POST-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

Clearance test — Inflate the air springs to 30 PSI (2.1BAR) and ensure there is at least
1/2 ” clearance around each bellow, away from anything that might rub against them.
Be sure to check the tire, brake drum, frame, shock absorbers and brake cables.

Leak test before road test — Inflate the air springs to 30 PSI (2.1BAR), check all
connections for leaks with a soapy water solution. See “Checking for Leaks” on how to
spot leaks. All leaks must be eliminated before the vehicle is road tested.

Heat test — Be sure there is sufficient clearance from any heat sources — at least 6”
(152mm) for air springs and air lines. If a heat shield was included in the kit, install it. If
there is no heat shield, but one is required, call (800) 248-0892.

Fastener test — Recheck all bolts for proper torque. Re-torque after 100 miles (161 km).

Road test — The vehicle should be road tested after the preceding tests. Inflate the air
springs to 25 PSI/2BAR (30 PSI [2.1BAR] if the vehicle is loaded). Drive the vehicle 10
miles and recheck for clearance, loose fasteners and air leaks.

Operating instructions — If professionally installed, the installer should review the
“Product Use, Maintenance and Servicing” section with the owner. Be sure to provide
the owner with all of the paperwork which came with the kit.
