- Connect extension hose - arrow - to pressure gauge and hold it in a measuring container.
- Open shut-off valve of pressure gauge. The lever points in direction of flow.
- Generate pressure in fuel system by pressing switch of the remote control and slowly closing shut-off valve of the pressure gauge.
- Specification: 4 bar positive pressure.
- From this point on do not move position of shut-off valve.
- Empty measuring container.
- Press switch on remote control for 15 seconds.







- Compare quantity of fuel delivered with minimum delivery rate in diagram (cu.cm/15 s).

NOTE: Voltage at fuel pump with engine stopped and pump running is approx. 2 volts less than battery voltage.
