Installation Guide Installing Air Lift Performance 3H/3P Kit LAYOUT OVERVIEW For a complete installation diagram, see pages 16-17. See page 2 for a complete parts list. NOTE Layout 1. Plan component location first. Ideally, the manifold should be located at a level above the compressor and tank to avoid compressor ingested water from gathering in the manifold (fig. -
Page 7: Tank (Optional)
Installation Guide TANK (OPTIONAL) Tank pre-assembly 1. Determine tank location and orientation prior to installing fittings. 2. Before installing fittings, apply thread sealant around the male threads, leaving the first two threads uncovered. NEVER BACK OFF AN INSTALLED PIPE FITTING TO ACHIEVE PROPER ALIGNMENT. CAUTION LOOSENING INSTALLED PIPE FITTINGS WILL CORRUPT THE SEAL AND CONTRIBUTE TO LEAKAGE AND FAILURE. -
Page 8: Filter
CAUTION SOURCE, AND WILL DEPOSIT THAT MOISTURE IN THE AIR TANK. THE AIR LIFT PERFORMANCE 3H/3P SYSTEM INCLUDES A FILTER THAT WILL GREATLY REDUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR MOISTURE TO ENTER THE MANIFOLD. HOWEVER, TANKS MUST BE REGULARLY PURGED TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF WATER ENTERING THE MANIFOLD. -
Page 9: Installing Harness
Installation Guide INSTALLING HARNESS The harness can be routed inside or underneath the vehicle. In either case, ensure all parts of the harness are protected from abrasive edges and heat sources. DISCONNECT THE BATTERY GROUND BEFORE INSTALLING THE SYSTEM. CAUTION REMOVE ALL FUSES WHEN JUMP-STARTING OR WELDING ON THE VEHICLE. - Page 10 See Table 2 below for information pertaining to kits that require manifold fitting installation.

Page 12: Manifold
Installation Guide MANIFOLD BEST PRACTICE IS TO LOCATE THE MANIFOLD UNIT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IF CAUTION EXTERNAL MOUNTING IS DESIRED, THE MANIFOLD SHOULD BE LOCATED IN AN AREA SHIELDED FROM DIRECT WATER SPRAY FROM TIRES OR CAR WASHES. 1. Position the manifold in desired location. Make sure the manifold mounting surface is flat. -
Page 13: Compressor (Optional)
Installation Guide COMPRESSOR (OPTIONAL) 1. Prepare the compressor intake. If it is mounted inside the vehicle, attach the filter to port on end of compressor (fig. 14). If the compressor is located outside the vehicle, snorkel the inlet filter to dry location inside vehicle using components supplied with compressor (fig. -
Page 14: Height Sensors
Installation Guide IF THE PRESSURE-BASED SYSTEM IS ALREADY INSTALLED BEFORE HEIGHT WARNING SENSOR INSTALLATION, MAKE SURE TO TURN OFF RISE ON START TO AVOID UNINTENDED AIRING UP. (SEE USER GUIDE.) HEIGHT SENSORS Installation of height sensors is a trial-and-error process and requires patience. The goal is to use as much of the sensor range as possible, which will maximize height adjustment accuracy. - Page 15 Installation Guide wear and may damage these components. 6. Understand whether the suspension or wheel assembly is the limiting factor when the vehicle is aired out. This will ensure proper accommodation of sensor arm travel. 7. If using self-tapping screws into the frame, make sure there are no wires or brake/ FLOOR JACKS CAN BE DANGEROUS.
- Page 16 Installation Guide SELECTING SENSOR ARM HOLE Max angle of travel for this sensor is 120 degrees, which can be correlated to the necessary suspension travel as seen in the table below (Table 3). Any significant over-extension or over-compression may damage and possibly destroy the sensor or sensor linkage (fig.
- Page 17 Installation Guide LINKAGE ASSEMBLY/MODIFICATION 1. Locate the linkage and ensure the rod is threaded all the way on (fig. 22). Thread both ends all the way down fig. 22 2. Next, put the suspension in the mid-position with respect to full suspension travel (fig. 23). Mid-position Min.

Page 23: Leak Testing And Detection
Installation Guide Leak Testing and Detection 1. A leak can be defined as a loss of pressure of more than 5 PSI over an 8-hour period. Be aware that ambient temperature change affects pressure that may seem like a leak. For example: a change of 10 degrees F up or down from your baseline will have an approximate gain or loss of indicated pressure of 2 PSI. -
