Installatie-instructies

The TORQUE Airbag Air Bag Suspension Kit is designed for a straightforward, bolt-on installation without requiring any frame drilling. Please refer to the included detailed installation manual for step-by-step instructions specific to your vehicle model.

Algemene installatiestappen:

1. Voertuig voorbereiden: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and block the wheels. Lift the rear of the vehicle and support it with jack stands.
2. Verwijder bestaande componenten (indien van toepassing): Follow the manual to remove any existing components that may interfere with the installation of the air springs.
3. Beugels installeren: Position and secure the upper and lower brackets to the vehicle's frame and axle, respectively. The brackets are designed for a no-drill installation.
4. Install Air Springs: Mount the air bags between the upper and lower brackets. Ensure proper alignment and secure attachment using the provided bolts and nuts.
5. Luchtlijnen verbinden: Attach the elbow fittings to the air bags and connect the tubing. Route the tubing away from hot or moving parts to the inflation valves.
6. Ventielen installeren: Choose a convenient and protected location (e.g., bumper, wheel well) to install the inflation valves. Connect the air lines from the air bags to these valves.
7. Controleer op lekken: Inflate the air springs to a low pressure (e.g., 20 PSI) and check all connections for air leaks using a soapy water solution. Tighten connections as needed.
8. Onderste voertuig: Laat het voertuig voorzichtig van de krikken zakken.
9. Laatste aanpassing: Inflate the air springs to the desired pressure based on your load requirements.

Always consult the comprehensive installation manual provided with your kit for detailed, model-specific instructions and safety precautions.

Gebruiksaanwijzing

The TORQUE Airbag Suspension Kit allows you to adjust the air pressure to suit varying load conditions, optimizing ride height and comfort.

Luchtdrukregeling:

• Minimum PSI: 5 PSI (pond per vierkante inch)
• Maximale PSI: 100 PSI

Use an air compressor to inflate the air springs via the installed inflation valves. Monitor the pressure with a gauge. Adjust pressure as follows:

• Light Load/Unloaded: Maintain minimum pressure (5 PSI) for optimal ride comfort.
• Heavy Load/Towing: Increase air pressure gradually until the vehicle achieves a level stance. Do not exceed 100 PSI.
• Off-Roading: Adjust pressure as needed for terrain, ensuring not to exceed maximum or fall below minimum.

Proper air pressure ensures even tire wear, improved handling, and prevents bottoming out of the suspension.

Onderhoud

Regular maintenance of your TORQUE Airbag Suspension Kit will ensure its longevity and optimal performance.

• Regelmatige inspectie: Controleer periodiek de airbags, luchtleidingen en koppelingen op slijtage, beschadigingen of lekkages.
• Controleer de luchtdruk: Check air pressure regularly, especially before and after towing or hauling heavy loads. Adjust as necessary.
• Schone componenten: Houd de airbags en de omliggende onderdelen schoon en vrij van vuil, stof en corrosieve materialen.
• Avoid Over-Inflation/Under-Inflation: Always adhere to the minimum (5 PSI) and maximum (100 PSI) pressure limits to prevent damage to the air springs.
• Koppelbevestigingsmiddelen: Periodically check and re-torque all fasteners to ensure they remain secure.
