SAFETY REQUIREMENTS: ACTIVE SUSPENSION WITH VARIABLE DAMPING
IMPERATIVE: Do not remain underneath the vehicle during an operation to adjust vehicle heights or during actuator (electrovalve) tests.
IMPERATIVE: Any deforming of the wheel travel sensor supports is forbidden. If there is any deformation found, replace the component.
Cleanliness requirements.
WARNING: Non-respect of the cleanliness requirements may cause a contamination of the circuit and a malfunctioning of the suspension.
Preliminary operations.
The work area must be kept clean and uncluttered.
The technician must wear clean overalls.
Components being stored during the repair must be protected from dust.
The tooling required for an operation on the suspension system should always be cleaned prior to the operation.
During the operation:
- Before operating on the suspension circuit, proceed to clean the hydraulic components and unions.
IMPERATIVE: Approved cleaner: SODIMAC degreaser.
IMPERATIVE: After a dismantling, immediately blank the hydraulic components and unions with plugs. The plugs should be used for one
operation only.
Any component that has been removed must be plugged and placed in a clean plastic bag.
IMPERATIVE: After a dismantling, any cleaning using compressed air or products is strictly prohibited
