2.2 Area of application

With the Airshore ART Lite Vehicle Stabilization Kit vehicles can be
diagonally shored vertically, horizontally and at an angle of 45° C.
The object being shored is secured in quickest amount of time.

The ART Lite System is suitable for stabilizing various vehicles from
cars to light transporters and trucks.

2.3 Correct handling and usage

The four struts of the Airshore Lite Vehicle Stabilization Kit can be
used with extensions and accessories at most accident scenes due
to their extensive functional capability.

The maximum support load of the ART Lite Vehicle Stabilization
Kit is 3 tons (safety factor 3:1).

2.4 Safety instructions

When working with the ART Lite Vehicle Stabilization Kit all perti­nent work regulations, safety regulations and accident prevention
regulations are to be observed as well as the general laws of tech­nology. Personal protection equipment necessary for operation,
such as protection clothing, gloves, helmet, eye and/or face pro­tection, are to be worn.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Application

Determine the required length of the ART Lite struts which can be
used for shoring, if necessary t an additional extension on each
strut. Select the required head piece and conncect this with the
piston end of the strut. Remove the safety pins at the end of the
strut or extension. Place the head piece onto the piston end and
insert the safety pin through the holes at the piston end and the
head piece.

Bring the ART Lite structs into the required positions. Pull out the
struts so that the foot plate makes contact with the ground and
the head piece is at the support position. Insert the safety pins
into the nearest piston hole above the adjustment ring. Using the
T-grips turn the adjustment ring clockwise at the T-grips until the
head piece and the foot plate are securely attached to the ground
and the load. If necessary, place the safety pins into the next hole.
Secure the adjustment ring by screwing in the T-grip.

Using the tension belts, all the applied struts are pulled near the
vehicle being shored and then secured. It may also be necessary
that the struts have to be secured under each other with the ten­sion belts.

Extensive under-support measures with wooden blocks and/or
wedges may be necessary, this is determined at the location by
the head of the operation.

3.2 Stowage and transport

The complete ART Lite Kit is contained in two carrying bags. The­se are easy to stow away and guarantee that the strut system is
quickly available at the operation location. The weight of the car­rying bags including equipment is only 32 kg.

3.3 Maintenance and cleaning

The simple and sturdy construction enables the ART Lite system
to be used successfully under rugged conditions at the rescue lo­cation. Mud and water do not aect functional operation. Costly
maintenancde work is not necessary.

Cleaning is made with water, neutral cleaning agent and a clea­ning brush. The cleaned parts can be stowed away in the packing
bags after they have dried.

4. Routine testing

9 The parts of the ART Lite Kit must be checked for any signs of

damage and completness after every operation.

9 A visual test and function test of the ART Lite Kit are to be car-

ried out at least once every year.
