5.8 Maintenance

Following installation, it is recommended that all metal parts are coated

with a protective substance such as body wax.

The system does not require very much maintenance other than…

♦ to maintain air pressure in the springs. Much like a tyre, the system

may lose a little air over time.

♦ to keep the air bellows clean. It is suggested that, when washing

the vehicle, the bellows are inspected and cleaned as necessary

(preferable by spraying). Look in particular for stones or grit

trapped between convolutes, as this may damage the bellow.

CAUTION!

Before fully tightening the bolts that secure the air spring to the

upper and lower brackets, set the vehicle at ride height (spring

height approximately 13.5cm) and ensure that the springs are

correctly aligned.
