  1. Generate excess pressure (step 1)
  2. The pressure relief valve opens at an excess pressure of approx. 1.4 bar; the pressure then slowly decreases again, and the valve closes at 1.0 bar. If the pressure decreases further, replace the cap.
  3. If the test pressure of step  1 is maintained, test step  2. Apply excess pressure to the pressure relief valve of step one by pumping rapidly. The pressure relief valve of step  2 must open at an excess pressure of approx 1.8 bar. If the valve does not open, replace the cap.
