Risk of death

If the air suspension system is defective, sudden pressure loss may cause the vehicle to lower quickly on its own. This can result in life-threatening injuries caused by trapping and crushing.

Adjustment operations on the air suspension system can cause the vehicle to raise or lower. This can create an unclearly defined danger area.

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 result in serious injuries.
