Default Platinum Air Ride Operation

I recently bought an 05 HD Deuce equipped with Platinum's Air Ride Suspension's bleed and feed system. I just got a copy of the operational instructions from Platinum and they are worthless. I have tried to search online, but I keep finding complaints about the instructions, but great comments about the system. I have heard you can adjust both the ride height and rebound. I feel now i am just adjusting the ride height, not the rebound. Can someone explain how to adjust the system?


Thanks,

HDeuce

Can I ask you a favor? lower the bike all the way, are the wheel and suspension bottomed? I am thinking to get the same air shocks but worry about the ride height when it fails. Thanks!

to operate a bleed feed, you need to check that air is filling and bleeding out of both chambers . Both switches should turn on the compressor and also release air. The shotgunshock is also a feed bleed system and the operation instructions are on the web site , go to the last page of the installation instruction.
