Quick Start Press 3 to start setup. 0 Setup Required 0 0 0 Tank: 0 Calibration: During the Calibration sequence the e3 records information specific to the vehicle in which it is installed (inflate and deflate speed, if level sensors are present, how long the compressors take to fill the storage tank, etc.) The e3 then uses this information to attain the proper preset heights in the fewest possible steps, using the most intelligent method.

Installing an AirPod AirPod Part #: APOD4000L APOD4000e3 APOD4100L APOD4100e3 STOP Remove the negative battery cable before beginning installation. MOUNT THE MAIN UNIT: 1- Mount the base flat to the vehicle surface (do not bend the base) 2- Secure the base with self tapping screws or bolts. 3 - Secure the cover to the airpod base using the supplied screws. CONNECT AIR LINES: 1 - Airline cuts must be straight and clean - use a razor blade or tubing cutter.

Mounting the Compressor Mounting the Air Tank • All of our compressors are sealed for moisture and dust resistance so they can be mounted anywhere on the vehicle. Although it is best to mount it in a place out of direct contact with rain and snow.

Routing the Airline and Fittings Mounting the Air Pressure & Level Sensors • Make all airline cuts with a razor or tubing cutter (part # - cut1000). It must be clean and straight or it will not seal. • These sensors are voltage based and do not need to be grounded. Use Tubing Cutter (part # CUT1000) for straight ends. • Use thread sealant when installing pressure sensors in valve block. • All fittings are DOT approved pushto-connect style. They are very simple to use and are reusable.
PAGE 6
Ride Height Sensors External LevelPRO Sensor Installation • The LevelPro system uses 4 height sensors (one at each wheel). They are weather proof and may be mounted in any position as well as “clocked” in any position. (There is not a difference between the left and right sensors.) These sensors are typically mounted to the chassis / frame rail. • A linkage with rubber ends connects the sensor arm and a suspension component.

Ride Height Sensors Assembly of the LevelPRO Sensor Link Rods 1- Once the linkage rod has been cut to the proper length assemble the linkage rod with heat shrink tubing and the rubber end. 2- Slide the heat shrink tubing over the rubber end as far as it will go. 4- Continue shrinking the tube to the rod until secured. Be sure not to overheat the tubing causing it to pull from the rubber end. 5- Once both sides of the linkage have been finished secure the linkage to the sensor and suspension.

Menu Options - Details AUTO LEVEL DYNAMIC LEVELING: The Auto Level on Start feature is used to raise the vehicle to the #2 Preset each Dynamic Leveling will automatically raise or lower the vehicle back to the #2 Preset if the load changes while the vehicle is parked. As soon as the vehicle is in motion the system stops adjusting as it’s unsafe to alter air spring pressure while driving. ON: The vehicle will return to the #2 Preset if the load changes. time the ignition is turned on.

Menu Options - Details WIRELESS REMOTE LEARN KEYFOBS The E3 system has the capability of learning up to 4 remote keyfobs. Learning new keyfobs is as simple as pressing the #1 button on each keyfob, one at a time, until all keyfobs are learned into the system. Each new keyfob will be recognized by the E3 system and the corresponding number will be displayed on the screen.
