37 00... Notes on air spring system: Components/pipes
Maintain the highest possible standards of cleanliness around the pipe connections when dismantling and assembling components/pipes. Even the tiniest dirt particles on the pipe connections or damage to the pipes can result in leaks in the air spring system!
Do not kink, twist or crush lines.
Pipe connections must be sealed off with adhesive tape immediately after they have been removed. The adhesive tape may only be removed shortly before the connection is reinstalled.
Check air spring strut/air spring for damage.
