GUID-647FB64A-BC65-43E4-856B-A428F80A6D02
1. Hand pump
2. Bleeding plug
IMPORTANT: Do not use the hand pump when the engine is running. Do not use
any tools or excessive force on the hand pump.
1. Open the bleeding plug.
2. Put a transparent hose in the plug hole and lead it into a suitable container.
WARNING: Do not work on the common rail high pressure fuel system
when the engine is running. Wait at least 30 seconds after stopping
the engine. The first high pressure component has to be loosened
slowly, so that the pressure inside the fuel system can adjust to
ambient pressure. If the jet of high pressure fuel contacts your skin,
fuel penetrates the skin causing severe injuries. Get medical help
immediately!
WARNING: Only an authorised person is allowed to repair the fuel
system.
