WARNING
The suspension shall be adjusted identically on both sides of an axle.
ATTENTION
The shock absorbers are filled with compressed gas. Do not remove the
valve caps because otherwise the compressed gas will escape. The shock
absorbers could be damaged.
ATTENTION
Frequent driving at high speed with an extremely prestressed suspension
may lead to premature wear of the protective bellows.
NOTE
Damping and spring pre-tensioning of the shock absorbers can be adjusted
to adapt the suspension to the different terrain and load conditions.
