000 – Air Jack and Fire Extinguisher
000 - 1 Air Jack System
-
When driving, the bleed valve must be open (pulled out) in order to
ensure the air jack piston is fully retracted.
-
Working under the car supported only by the air jacks without the chocks
(safeties) is forbidden.
-
To prevent damage to the end stops on the piston rods, the air jack should
never be pressurised without lifting the car or alternatively the pressure
must be increased very slowly and in a controlled manner.
-
Recommended operating pressure: 40 bar
-
Never use cleaning products containing mineral oil.
-
Do not dismantle the air jack – the system is pressurised even when
retracted!
-
The tightening torque for the grooved nut (to secure the air jack) must
always be checked during a normal car check (spanner check).
-
Tightening procedure grooved nut: see PDM 4SA 011 001
-
If a loose or incorrectly mounted air jack is identified it must be replaced
immediately.
