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 kit is, of course, the air helper 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 left, or
driver’s side of the vehicle. To install the right 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 unbal-
anced 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 side door for
maximum loads listed for your vehicle.
When inflating your Air Helper Springs, add air
pressure in small quantities, checking pressure fre-
quently 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 re-
stricted by the suspension or other adequate
structure. Do not inflate beyond 100 psi.
Improper use or over inflation may cause
property damage or severe personal injury.
