4 Installing the Air System

4.2

Running and Securing the Air Line

The path taken by the air line from your air source (i.e., compressor) to

your Air Locker is unique to your vehicle and the position of your air

source. Plan ahead carefully when running the air line and always

follow these guidelines:

 Account for axle travel when running the line from the axle to a

fixed point on the vehicle. Leave enough slack in the air line to

allow for maximum suspension travel in both directions.

 Avoid leaving large lengths of air line hanging underneath the

vehicle where they may get tangled on rocks, sticks, etc.

HINT : Cable tying the air line to one of your flexible brake

lines will account for axle travel and should help keep

your line from getting snagged.

 Run the air line all the way from the compressor to the differential

before trimming either end of the line to length. This will save

complications that may arise if the air line has to be removed.

 Make sure the line does not contact sharp edges or abrasive

surfaces that may damage the air line over time.

 Do not run the air line around tight bends that may kink the air line

and restrict or block the air flow.

 Keep the air line well away from your vehicle’s exhaust

components. Air lines will melt if subjected to extreme heat.

 Do not run more air line than necessary. Excess line volume

created when coiling the left over hose, using unusually large

diameter hose, etc., will increase drain on the compressor tank

resulting in the compressor running more often than needed.

 Support the air line by tying it back with cable ties wherever

possible.

 At the solenoid end of the air line, trim the line to length with a

sharp knife.

 To attach the air line to the push-in fitting of the solenoid; insert the

line firmly into the fitting, pull outward on the flange of the fitting

while holding the line as far into the fitting as possible, and then

gently pull outward on the air line to clamp the line in place.
