-- Set dial gauge to "0".

-- Note the measured value.

-- Lower the vacuum via the Pressure Control Valve VAS6342.

440 mbar.

NOTE:

If the vacuum was reduced too much, raise the vacuum back to 580 mbar and adjust again by reducing it.

The actuator rod must have moved opposite the previously measured value 0.8 to 1.3 mm in the direction of the dial gauge.

-- Lower the vacuum via the Pressure Control Valve VAS6342.

100 mbar.
The actuator rod must have moved opposite the previously measured value 7 to 9.5 mm in the direction of the dial gauge.

-- If the specified value is not reached open the lock nut -1-.
