8.7.1 Battery replacements in AirKey cylinders
Replace batteries when the door is open and secured so it does not
accidentally slam shut.
Please note the AirKey cylinder time remains active for a maximum of one
minute after having removed the batteries.
We highly recommend replacing the seals of the AirKey cylinder upon
replacing batteries to continue to guarantee the unit is correctly protected
from humidity. In this process, the seal between thumb turn sleeve and
outside thumb turn as well as the seals in the thumb turn disc of the
outside thumb turn are affected. All these seals are available as spare parts.
For this purpose, please contact your specialist EVVA retailer.
We highly recommend lubricating AirKey cylinders, at minimum upon
replacing batteries. For this purpose, apply a drop of the lubricant
recommended by EVVA between the thumb turn sleeve and the cylinder
housing from the outside after having removed the outside thumb turn. We
additionally recommend you lubricating the rear of the cylinder between
cam and cylinder housing if you temporarily remove the AirKey cylinder. For
this purpose, please contact your specialist EVVA retailer.
