- Watch pressure drop on gauge. After 10 minutes pressure must not drop below a 4.0 bar decrease.

If pressure drops below 4.0 bar:

- Operate hand held remote starter (jumper) while doing this, observe display of pressure tester.

Fuel pressure must increase up to a maximum pressure of 6 bar.

- Release control button of hand held remote starter (jumper) and immediately close shut off valve of pressure gauge. Then lever the points perpendicular to flow direction - arrow -.





When releasing control button of hand held remote starter (jumper), fuel pressure decreases to approx. 5.6 bar.

If pressure drops below 4.0 bar again:

(Leak on fuel tank side)

- Check connections to fuel tank for leaks.

If no malfunction can be found:

- Check fuel filter for leaks.
