AR07.03-P-1460-02MM | Relieve fuel pressure | ||
Danger | Risk of explosion caused by fuel igniting. Risk of injury to skin and eyes caused by fuel spraying out at high pressure | Keep all ignition sources out of hazard area. | |
Danger | Risk of explosion caused by fuel igniting, risk of poisoning caused by inhaling and swallowing fuel as well as risk of injury to eyes and skin caused by contactwith fuel. | No fires, sparks, open flames or smoking. Pour fuels into suitable and appropriately marked containers only. | |
Topical note | Notes on avoiding damage through contamination and foreign objects |
Ensure absolute cleanliness when working on the high-pressure fuel circuit. Thoroughly clean the area around the connecting point before opening the high-pressure fuel circuit. Use only lint-free cleaning cloths
Even the smallest dirt particles in the hydraulic components will impair the function of the high-pressure fuel circuit and cause it to fail.
During reduction of the fuel pressure always wear oil-resistant, fiber-free gloves which are lined with rubber.
1 | Cover connecting point for the high-pressure line to be opened using suitable rags. |
2 | Carefully loosen union nut somewhat for the high-pressure line to be opened. |
No fuel should flow over the engine. |
The pressure in the fuel high-pressure circuit is increased for an engine at operating temperature. Thus causes a larger fuel quantity to leak out. |
Collect exuded fuel using a suitable absorbent rag. |
