The Air Control Accessory kit can be used with all
Firestone air helper springs products. If you are installing a
Firestone suspension system do not install the air line tubing
into the air springs as stated in the suspension system instruc-
tion manual. If you are adding the Air Control Accessory kit
to an existing Firestone suspension system you will need to
deflate the air springs and remove the air line tubing.

ONNECTING THE AIR LINE TUBING
Cut the air line tubing as squarely as possible. To
connect the air line tubing to the fittings push the tubing
into the fittings as far as possible. If for any reason the
tubing must be removed the collar of the fitting can be
pushed toward the body of the fitting and the tubing can
be removed. Make sure the air helper springs are de-
flated. To reassemble make sure the tubing is cut squarely
and push back into the fitting.
