Do not attempt to install or inflate any air spring that has become unfolded. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Failure to observe the following procedures can result in a sudden failure of the suspension system.
WARNING:
Any air spring which is unfolded must be refolded prior to being installed in a vehicle. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING:
The air spring refolding procedure should not be used for an air spring which has never supported the vehicle's weight while in the correctly folded position. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Vehicles with an incorrectly folded air spring(s) found after the vehicle has been driven, must have a new air spring installed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to inflate any air spring which has collapsed while deflated from the rebound hanging position to the jounce stop. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING:
When installing a new air spring, care must be taken to not apply a load to the suspension until the air springs have been inflated using the air spring fill procedure. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING:
After inflating an air spring in the hanging position, it must be inspected for correct shape. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
The air suspension system is designed to improve ride handling and general vehicle driving performance.
