MAINTENANCE/OPERATION
MAINTENANCE
1.
Check pressure weekly.
2.
Always maintain at least 10 p.s.i. air pressure to prevent chafing.
3.
If you develop an air leak in the system, use a soapy water solution to check all hose connections and the
inflation valve core before removing sleeve.
OPERATING TIPS
1.
Inflate your air springs to 60 p.s.i. before adding the payload. After vehicle is loaded, adjust your air pressure
to level the vehicle and for ride comfort.
2.
When you are carrying a payload it will be helpful to increase the tire inflation pressure in proportion to any
overload condition. We recommend a 2 p.s.i. increase above normal (not to exceed tire manufacturer
maximum) for each 100 lbs. total overload on the axle.
NOTE
1.
IMPORTANT: For your safety and to prevent possible damage to your vehicle, do not exceed maximum load
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Although your air springs are rated at maximum inflation pressure
of 100 p.s.i., this pressure may represent too great of load on some vehicles. Check your vehicle owner’s
manual and do not exceed maximum loads listed for your vehicle.
When inflating your Air Lift sleeves, add pressure in small quantities, checking pressure frequently during
inflation. The sleeves require much less air volume than a tire and therefore inflate much quicker.
2.
Should it become necessary to raise the vehicle by the frame, make sure the system is at minimum
pressure (10psi) to reduce the tension on suspension/brake components. Check to see that the sleeve
rolls back down over the bottom piston after the vehicle is lowered (Figure 7). If sleeve fails to roll
back down over the piston, add air pressure until sleeve “pops” back over piston (do not exceed 100
p.s.i.).
FAILURE TO MAINTAIN MINIMUM PRESSURE, BOTTOMING OUT, OR OVER
EXTENSION WILL VOID THE WARRANTY
