Overview of AIRmatic suspension
- The components or the entire system must not be discharged by unscrewing pressure lines! Depressurize components of AIRmatic (suspension struts, damping valve units, central reservoir) with STAR DIAGNOSIS before removal.
- Soiled pressure line connections must be cleaned before unscrewing. Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents, as they can damage the pressure lines.
- Soiled pressure line connections must be cleaned before unscrewing. Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents, as they can damage the pressure lines.
- Seal pressure lines and connections on the components using blind plugs.
- To unscrew the pressure lines only use flare nut wrench or a special tool.
- Air suspension struts which have been removed or have not been screwed on securely (5) must not be filled with compressed air and not pushed together as this leads to destruction of the air suspension strut (5).
- Air suspension struts (5) must not be twisted as this leads to fold formation in the air spring and thus leads to destruction of the air suspension strut (5).
- If the vehicle is idle for a longer time, position the wheels straightahead, as any pressure loss occurring in the system can lead to lowering of the vehicle.
