Is the combustion-air intake
pipe or the exhaust connec-
tion piece soiled?
no
Are the gas paths of
the heat exchanger
heavily soiled?
Does vacuum or gauge
pressure result at the
combustion air inlet,
possibly also while driv-
ing?

tion 6) too low.
no
Clean, correct installation if
necessary (see Section 8).

sure (see Section 6). Is
the pump pressure too
high?
Is the voltage at the
motor below 10 V or
20 V under load?
Due to the increased
fuel pressure, the flow
rate of the atomiser
nozzle is too high.
Set (see Section 6). Charge battery;
electrical lines corrod-
ed or too small;
motor defective.
Is the valve seat of the sole-
noid valve leaky?
(seat damaged, armature
jams).

zle.
no
Check valve seat and replace
