Trouble Shooting Guide

Air spring will not inflate

• Ensure that the air line tubing is inserted into the air fittings as far as possible.  The tubing should go into the fitting ¾”.  You will feel some resistance when the tubing goes past the O-ring. 
• Clear any dirt or debris from inside the inflation valves.
• Inspect the entire length of the sir line tubing to ensure that it is not kinked, damaged from exhaust heat or cut due to contact with sharp edges. 

Air spring will not hold air

• Normal pressure loss is no more than three to four psi per week when the air springs are inflated to 50 psi.
• Using the inflation valve cap as a core tool, ensure that the valve stem core is tight inside the valve body.
• Apply a solution of soap and water to the air fittings, air line and air springs to check for leaks.  Tighten the air fitting or re-install the tubing in the air fitting to stop the leak.
• If a leak can not be detected with soap and water solution, deflate the air springs and inflate the air spring to a maximum of 20 psi.  Submerge the air sporing in a bucket of water to check for leaks.

 Locations of air leaks

• Leaks occur most often at the threaded connection between the air fittings and the air springs.  Tighten the fitting to engage the pre-applied orange thread sealant.  
• The end of the air line tubing must be cut square and clean to avoid burrs in the connection to the air fittings.  The push-to-connect fittings require a square cut to properly seal.  The tubing can be removed from the fitting by first releasing the air pressure from the air spring(s).  Push the collar on the fitting toward the body of the fitting.  While holding the collar in, pull out the air line tubing.  Cut the air line tubing squarely and push the air line tubing into the fitting as far as possible. 

 The vehicle is not level

• Check for proper inflation of the air springs on each side of the vehicle.
• Check for obstructions in the air system or vehicle components that may be restricting suspension travel.
