Air Spring: Service and Repair
Filling Specification For Air-Spring Strut
Filling specification for air-spring strut
General
The air-spring struts are pre-filled with approximately 3 bar overpressure ex-works. If a new air-spring strut is installed, air can diffuse (escape) from
the rolling lobe of the air-spring strut as a result of storage times of varying durations. If the air-spring strut is removed from the transport packaging
and installed without being filled, the rolling lobe can fall into folds, thereby damaging the air-spring strut. All air-spring struts must be re-filled prior
to use for this reason! The procedure is described in detail in the course of the repair instructions.
Filling the air-spring strut
Caution! Observe the relevant operating regulations for handling compressed air and gas filling units. Observe accident prevention
regulations.
Note!
^
Do not remove air-spring strut from transport packaging until it has been filled. This will prevent damage to the inner rolling lobe.
