Risk of death from lowering vehicle when working between wheels and body. Risk of injury from pinching or crushing when working on the air suspension. - AS32.22-Z-0001-01A

MODEL ALL 

Danger!  Do not work between wheels and wheel arches or in wheel well. Only perform testing and adjustment operations from below the vehicle. Secure areas with moving vehicle parts against unauthorized access.

Risk of death 

Adjustment operations on the air suspension can cause the vehicle to rise or fall, thus creating a constantly changing hazard area. If the air suspension system is defective, sudden pressure loss may cause the vehicle to lower quickly on its own.

Risk of injury 

Reaching into the area of the axle suspension or level control system during adjustment operations or with a defective compressed air system can cause serious injuries.

Safety instructions/precautions 
Testing and adjustment work must not be carried out between wheel and wheel arch or in the wheel well, but rather only from below the vehicle
Secure blind hazard areas against unauthorized access using appropriate shielding (e.g. barriers, safety guards).
Secure vehicle frame or vehicle axles using suitable support fixtures
