Notes On Air Body Control - AH32.22-P-1000-03LWO

Model 238, 257, 290 with code 489 (AIR BODY CONTROL) 

Notes: 

• The pressure in the components or in the overall system may not be relieved by detaching or disconnection of pressure lines. The pressure may only be relieved using a diagnostic system.
• The area of the pressure line connections must be cleaned before starting the repair. Cleaning agents or solvents may not be used here.
• Open pressure lines and pressure line connections must always be sealed.
• For attaching and detaching pressure lines, only flare nut wrenches or special tools may be used.
• Removed or slackened off suspension struts and air springs may not be filled with compressed air or pushed together; irreparable damage may be caused otherwise.
• The suspension struts and air springs must not be twisted. Twisting results in the formation of folds and thus in the destruction of the suspension struts and air springs.
• Observe the proper filling procedure when filling the suspension struts and air springs.
• The suspension struts and air springs must not be loaded through spring movements between installation of the suspension struts and air springs and filling of the system.
• Before driving through washer systems, pits and vehicle lifts or lanes with irregularities the vehicle level has to be raised.
• The front wheels must be moved to the straight-ahead position when the vehicle is idle for extended periods. Otherwise, the body or the front fender may be damaged in event of pressure loss.
• The leaflet regarding the new suspension struts and air springs and the expiration date must be observed.
