all precautions pertaining to use of those tools.
4. If the work is being performed on the vehicle's air
brake system, or any auxiliary pressurized air
systems, make certain to drain the air pressure
from all reservoirs before beginning ANY work on
the vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with an

recommended procedures, deactivate the
electrical system in a manner that safely removes
all electrical power from the vehicle.

kits can be installed without removing the air dryer and
reservoir system from the vehicle. CAUTION: Always
depressurize the air dryer and reservoir system purge
reservoir, and all other reservoirs on the vehicle to 0 p.s.i.
before servicing the air dryer and reservoir system.
