Notes on AIRmatic - AH32.22-P-1000-02I
Model 220
- Before removal, depressurize AIRmatic components (spring struts, valve unit, central reservoir) using Star Diagnosis and empty complete system if necessary. The components or the complete system must not be emptied by unscrewing pressure lines.
- Clean dirty pressure pipe connections before unscrewing. Do not use any cleaning agents/solvents as pressure lines might be damaged as a result.
Seal pressure pipes and connections on the components immediately with blind plugs.
- Only use an open box wrench or special tool to unscrew pressure lines.
- Spring struts which have been removed or are not tightened securely must not be filled with compressed-air and not pushed together.
- When installing spring struts ensure that residual pressure valves, protective boots and ADS valves with electrical connections are not damaged.
- Spring struts must not be loaded between installing the spring struts and filling the system (no spring movement).
- Before driving into automatic car washes, onto pits, hoists or on very uneven roads, set raised vehicle level on the vehicle level switch. The high level is reached when the "Air spring - vehicle lifting up" display on the multifunction display goes out.
- When the vehicle is parked for a prolonged period turn the wheels straight-ahead as pressure loss may occur.
- Emergency running buffers used on the spring struts for transport or shipping are available through the spare parts channels.
The emergency-running buffers may only be used for maneuvering
