personal air-pressure settings
-
Instructions
Tools Needed:
3/16” Allen wrench
Steps for Installing Model #3
Step 1: Remove both saddle bags, which expose the H-D air-fill valve
and the air lines going to each shock.
Fasten your H-D pump, part number 54630-03A
or equivalent, to the air-fill valve on your
bike. Add 3-5 psi to clear the lines of any
oil, but do not exceed 50 psi. Release all
the air pressure from the system. Press the
pressure relief valve on the pump or depress
the center of the Schrader valve.
Step 2:
Install
two loop clamps onto the right rear tubular
saddle bag mounting brace as shown in Figure
#1. Note that the clamps should be
positioned pointing outward to provide
clearance to install the EZ-AIR™ bracket.
Place the bracket behind the tubular brace
as shown in Figure #1 and carefully
rotate it counter-clockwise into position as
shown in Figure #2. Rotate the clamps into
position with the lower clamp resting
against the bag mounting bracket. Complete
installation using the supplied 1/4” socket
head screws. Note: The bracket will tend to
move inward toward the chrome trim piece
when tightening the screws so start with the
bracket positioned slightly outward away
from the trim piece.
Step 3:
Remove the original air line from the air
fitting on the right side shock absorber
(See Figure #3). To remove this line, push
in on the red locking collar and pull
out on the air line at the same time.
The included new air line assembly has a
Y-fitting with a short piece of air line
installed into one port of the Y-fitting and
a longer line to plug into the unit. Press
the short air line into the original air
fitting on your shock and press the original
air line (removed above) into the front port
of the Y-fitting - (See Figure #4). Route
the longer air line for best appearance and
plug line into the open fitting on the EZ-AIR™
unit - (See Figure #5).
Step 4:
Add air to the system with a suitable air
pump such as the H-D part number 54630-03A.
Never use high-pressure sources to fill your
suspension system. For 2009 and later bikes,
use 50 psi as a maximum setting. Your
owner’s manual will give pressure guidelines
based on total weight load. Experiment with
the pressure setting until you get a
comfortable ride without bottoming out the
shocks on the more severe dips and bumps. We
provide a stick-on label so that you can
write down your personal air settings for
solo, two up, and completely loaded (MAX).
You can now check your current pressure
setting anytime by pushing the black
push-to-check valve and reading the pressure
directly on your new gauge. It is normal for
the gauge to read zero until the button is
pressed. If air is required, just attach
your pump to the fill valve on the EZ-Air™
assembly and add air. The original H-D fill
valve is also still fully functional.
You have successfully added the EZ-AIR™
management system to your bike. To remove
this system or transfer it to another bike,
just remove the Y-fitting and the EZ-AIR™
assembly and replace the original air line
back into the shock absorber air fitting.
