VI. Maintenance and Operations
By following these steps, vehicle owners will obtain the longest life and best results from their air
springs.
1. Check the air pressure weekly.
2. Always maintain Normal Ride Height. Never inflate beyond 100 p.s.i.
3. If you develop an air leak in the system, use a soapy water solution to check all air line connections and
the inflation valve core before deflating and removing the air spring.
4. When increasing load, always adjust the air pressure to maintain the Normal Ride Height. Increase or
decrease pressure from the system as necessary to attain Normal Ride Height for optimal ride and
handling. Remember that loads carried behind the axle (including tongue loads) require more leveling
force (pressure) than those carried directly over the axle.
5.
IMPORTANT: For your safety and to prevent possible damage to your vehicle, do not exceed maximum
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), as indicated by the vehicle manufacturer. Although your air
springs are rated at a maximum inflation pressure of 100 p.s.i. The air pressure actually needed is
dependant on your load and GVWR, which may be less than 100 p.s.i. Check your vehicle owners
manual and do not exceed the maximum load listed for your vehicle.
6. Always add air to springs in small quantities, checking the pressure frequently. Sleeves require less air
volume than a tire and inflate quickly.
7.
Should it become necessary to raise the vehicle by the frame, make sure the system is at minimum
pressure (10 p.s.i.) to reduce the tension on the suspension/brake components. Use of on–board
leveling systems do not require deflation or disconnection.
10 p.s.i.
100 p.s.i.
Failure to maintain correct minimum pressure (or pressure proportional to load),
bottoming out, over-extension, or rubbing against another component will void the
warranty.
