Note
Suspension struts (air suspension) are delivered as a replace‐
ment part with a minimum pressure. By sitting in storage for
extended periods this pressure can diminish (just like a tire). Be‐
fore the suspension strut (air suspension) is removed from its
packaging, this minimum pressure must be controlled by »refill‐
ing«. If the suspension strut (air suspension) is removed from its
packaging without this control/refilling, folds can occur in the un‐
der-filled air spring boot. These indentations lead to preliminary
damage and may lead to premature failure.
– Remove the cover from the packaging.
