to burn or are part of a smoldering fire. 
The scrapping of gas-filled hydraulic parts can also be handed over to a scrap dealer who carries out the 
required safety measures. If accepted, the scrap dealer must sign an official declaration (see sample), in which 
he/she is bound to scrap gas-filled hydraulic parts in accordance with the respective valid accident prevention 
regulations. 
This type of agreement however does require that it is absolutely impossible to retrieve shock absorbers from 
the scrap which can then be subsequently repaired. Any such devices therefore need to be damaged to 
permanently disable them for any reuse. To this end it is sufficient to bang the shock absorber pipe on a hard 
edge, to make a dent in it with a light hammer blow or to crush it slightly in a vise. 
 On no account should the piston rod be bent, this may cause an accident! 
If agreements to render gas-filled hydraulic parts harmless, cannot be made with a scrap dealer, then the 
specified safety measures must be performed by the owner. For accident prevention reasons, safety glasses and 
gloves must be worn as protection against any escaping gas and oil as well as drill shavings. The balance holes 
are to be drilled with as little operating speed as possible. Any escaping oil is to be collected.

The instrument cluster has diagnostic capabilities. In other words, 
diagnosis is possible using a hand held test (HHT). The instrument 
cluster therefore has a line (K-line) which is connected to the data 
link connector (X11/4).
 The instrument cluster, including the Active Service System 
(ASSYST), is tested with the HHT. The following functions can be 
selected:
D
 Control module version
D
 Error memory
D
 Actual valves
D
