Important!
Observe country-specific safety regulations.
Ensure adequate ventilation in the place of work!
Connect the exhaust and extraction systems to the exhaust
tailpipe.
The electric fuel pump must not operate without fuel! After
completing repairs but before starting the engine for the first
time, fill the fuel tank with min. 5 l fuel through the fuel filler
pipe.
Do not damage non-return flap when pulling out extraction
hose.
Diesel vehicles:
Before starting the engine for the first time, if the tank has been
run dry or drawn off, fill with diesel fuel and turn on ignition for
approx. 1 minute. The fuel circuit is thus filled and vented, which
results in the engine firing more quickly.
Drawing off fuel:
Start engine and allow to run.
The electric fuel pump runs.
In this way, the fuel is repumped through the suction jet pump
from the left to the right side of the fuel tank.
Note:
Fuel can be drawn out of left and right sides of tank through filler
neck, leaving only a small residue. The residual quantity is drawn
off through the service opening (on right/left).
