CHECKING FILLER CAP PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

Special tools required:

Set pressure regulator on special tool 16 1 171. See 16 1 170 TESTER WITH TEST ADAPTER fully in "-" direction.

Connect special tool 16 1 171. See 16 1 170 TESTER WITH TEST ADAPTER via compressed air line (1) to workshop/garage compressed air system (8... 10 bar).

Select special tool 16 1 172 or 16 1 173.
