Installing 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

Whatever the chosen location, make sure there is enough clearance around the inflation valves
for an air chuck.

TIPS FOR INSTALLING AIR LINES
When cutting air lines, use a sharp knife or a hose
cutter and make clean, square cuts (Fig . 7) . Do not
use scissors or wire cutters because these tools may
deform the air line, causing it to leak around fittings .
Do not cut the lines at an angle .
Do not bend the 1/4” hose at a radius of less than 1” or
bend the 3/8” hose at a radius of less than 1 1/2” . Do
not put side load pressure on fitting . The hose should be
straight beyond the fitting for 1” before bending .
Inspect hose for scratches that run lengthwise on hose
prior to installation . Contact Air Lift customer service at
(800) 248-0892
if the air line is damaged .
Go to air-lift .co/cuttingairline to watch a
video demonstrating proper air line cutting
