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:
Note:
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.
Important!
Once fuel has been drawn off through the fuel filler pipe, there
are still residual amounts in the fuel tank, in the fuel filter and
in the fuel pump surge chamber.
Note:
The electric fuel pump runs.
