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.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Application
Determine the required length of the ART Lite struts which can be
used for shoring, if necessary fit 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 ten-
sion belts.
