INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Congratulations - your new Air Helper Springs are quality

products capable of improving the handling and comfort of

your vehicle. As with all products, proper installation is the key

to obtaining all of the benefits your kit is capable of delivering.

Please take a few minutes to read through the instructions to

identify the components and learn where and how they are used.

It is a good idea to start by comparing the parts in your kit with

the parts list below.

The heart of the air helper spring kit is, of course, the air

springs. Remember that the air helper springs must flex and

expand during operation, so be sure that there is enough

clearance to do so without rubbing against any other part of the

vehicle.

Be sure to take all applicable safety precautions during the

installation of the kit. The instructions listed in this brochure

and the illustrations all show the right, or passenger’s side of the

vehicle. To install the left side assembly simply follow the same

procedures.

This kit includes inflation valves and air lines for each air

spring. This will allow you to compensate for unbalanced

loads. If you would rather have a single inflation valve system

to provide equal pressure to both air springs, your dealer can

supply the optional "T" fitting.

IMPORTANT!

For your safety and to prevent possible damage to your

vehicle, do not exceed the maximum load recommended by

the vehicle manufacturer (GVWR). Although your Air Helper

Springs are rated at a maximum inflation pressure of 100

psi, this pressure may allow you to carry too great a load on

some vehicles. It is best to have your vehicle weighed once

it is completely loaded and compare that weight to the

maximum allowed. Check your vehicle owner’s manual or

data plate on driver's side door for maximum loads listed

for your vehicle.

When inflating your Air Helper Springs, add air pressure

in small quantities, checking pressure frequently during

inflation. The air spring requires much less air volume

than a tire and, therefore, inflates much quicker.

WARNING:

Do not inflate this assembly when it is unrestricted.

The assembly must be restricted by the suspension or

other adequate structure. Once installed, do not

inflate beyond 100 psi. Improper use or over inflation

may cause property damage or severe personal injury.
