How should I inspect and maintain my air bag jack to ensure it is always ready for use?

Regular and thorough inspection and maintenance are critical for the safe and reliable operation of an Air Bag Jack.Maintenance is divided into pre-use checks and periodic servicing.Before every use,visually inspect the entire bag for any signs of damage:cuts,abrasions,bulges,embedded debris,or chemical degradation(like oil or fuel exposure that can weaken the material).Check the air hose and couplings for cracks,leaks,or loose connections.Ensure the pressure release valve operates smoothly.A more comprehensive annual or bi-annual service should be performed by a certified technician as per the manufacturer's guidelines.This involves a detailed inspection,a leak test by pressurizing the bag in a containment cage,and checking all components.After use,the bag must be cleaned with mild soap and water,dried completely,and stored in its carrying case in a cool,dry place away from sunlight and ozone sources.
