CHECKS
4. Checking the main accumulator :
a) Disconnect HP inlet pipe ( 1) from safety
valve.
b) Plug HP inlet pipe fusing p[u~s D
and E ). :
c ) Tighten pressure regulator bleed screw.
Disconnect contact breaker lead from coil.
Operate storter,watching the pressure g""ge :
the pressure should rise steadily and then
appear to stobilize.
Note this reading, which is the inflation
pressure of acc"mulator.
This preksure must equal 62 ', To
bars
(899
IE,psi)
Corned lead of contact breaker
5. Checking cut-out :
a) Checking cut-out ~TPSSU~~~ :
Start engine.
With pressure regulator bleed screw tightened,
examine the pressure gauge.
When pressure stops rising, reading indicates
maximum cut-out pressure.
This pressure m"st be equal to
170 t'5 bars
(2466 ?,73
p:i ).
When the c"t-o"t pressure is obtained allow
the engine to nrn for a few minutes in order
to stabilize pressure.
Stop engine.
Examine the pressure gauge and note the fall
in pressure for the next 3
minutes.
If the fall in'pressure exceeds
10 bark 4 145psi)
check seai of plug D and repeat, the test sequence.
If the result of test is the some, the pressure
regulator is defective,
Replace it 01 repair it.
When cutout takes place, slightly slacken
pressure regulator bleed screw.
The pressure should fall gently then rise (IS~.
soon (IS the HP pump begins to operate.
The minimum reading indicated on tbe pressure
gauge corresponds to the cut-in pressure.
This pressure must be 145 +,5 bars
(2103 ?,73
psi ).
If these cut-in and cot-out pressures do
not lie within the given tolerances, check the
pressure regulator.
c) Slacken the pressure regulator bleed screw.
d) Remove plug D and connect HP inlet pipe ( 1)
to safety valve.
