CAUTION!
‹› The air spring is under about 3 bar residual pressure. Therefore, always loosen bolts - arrows - only about one rotation until air escapes.
‹› During disassembly, loosen mounting bracket bolts with light tilting motions of air spring.
‹› Do not under any circumstances bend over the air spring damper when loosening the bolts. If bolts are removed so far that air no
longer escapes, there is risk of damage from mounting bracket and bolts.
‹› Air spring must not be rotated when it is depressurized. There is the danger that the boot inside the air spring could be damaged by
kinking or folding.
