^
If the residual pressure valve no longer permits air to escape (is stuck), the vehicle must be lifted on a hoist in order to replace the residual pressure
valve and the wheels must turn freely.
^
When loosening the air line, there is the danger to also loosen the residual pressure valve.
^
If the vehicle is not lifted via a hoist, the vehicle lowers immediately on the side where the residual pressure retaining valve is loosened. There is
the acute danger of injury since the arms get jammed.
^
Vehicle must stay on hoist until new residual pressure valve is installed and air spring shock absorber is filled again.
