13 53... Pressure line leak test

WARNING:
  • Risk of burning!
  • Rotating components (risk of injury!)

Necessary preliminary work 

IMPORTANT: Air bubbles form continuously in the event of a leak! 

Static air bubbles indicate that there is no leak. They may be caused by the leak detector spray or when the leak detector agent liquefies.

Picture shows N14

Apply leak detector spray in area of screw connection (1) of pressure line (2).

Repeat procedure several times and check for bubbles with telescopic mirror in the entire screw connection area (1).
