Test Steps



TEST NOTES:

WARNING: Keep hands clear of soft top mechanism, windshield frame and soft top compartment cover.

The Following Jobs Are The Same For All Test Steps
:
Connection of test equipment to hydraulic unit (Figure 1). Torque check valve 129 589 08 63 00 to 5 Nm.

If hydraulic lines need to be disconnected from the valve blocks during pressure tests, the appropriate soft top position (end position of the hydraulic cylinder) must first be ensured.

All the necessary soft top positions can be achieved by using the soft top switch or by moving the soft top by hand (manual operation, Ignition: OFF). The soft top compartment cover can be locked or unlocked by using the emergency tool in the vehicle tool kit.

In the event of a lock failure, the fabric bow can only be opened by unscrewing the lock pin from inside the vehicle.

Pressure Test
The hydraulic circuits and components responsible for a specific soft top movement can be tested separately.

Disconnected hydraulic lines should be held in a container (connect a transparent hose such as windshield washer hose).

Hydraulic components that leak should be replaced. During pressure tests, the valve block connections must be plugged with plug 129 589 00 91 01.

If hydraulic components need to be replaced, the disconnected hydraulic lines must be plugged with plug 129 589 00 91 07, while the connections of valve blocks and hydraulic cylinders must be plugged immediately using plug 129 589 00 91 11 to prevent the possible entry of dirt.
