REMOVINGINSTALLING Remove/install     
DANGER Risk of accident  caused by vehicle starting off by itself when engine is running. Risk of injury  caused by contusions and burns during starting procedure or when working near the engine as it is running Secure vehicle to prevent it from moving by itself.
Wear closed and snug-fitting work clothes.
Do not touch hot or rotating parts.
AS00.00-Z-0005-01A
1 Bring engine to operating temperature (approx. 80°C) IMPORTANT Only test compression pressure when engine is at normal operating temperature.  
2 Remove a spark plug from each cylinder See: Replace spark plugs

3.1 Crank engine with starter. Model 215, 220, 230, 240
IMPORTANT Do not crank engine via electronic ignition switch control unit or Start/Stop button since fuel can enter into the cylinders and this can distort the measuring result.
IMPORTANT To crank engine, press contact switch on compression recorder (01).
IMPORTANT Crank engine for approx. 5 seconds in order to eliminate combustion residues in cylinder.
AR01.10-P-0110V 
3.2 Connect up compression recorder (01) and crank engine Model 216, 221
IMPORTANT Do not crank engine via electronic ignition switch control unit or Start/Stop button since fuel can enter into cylinders and this can distort the measuring result.
IMPORTANT To crank engine, press contact switch on compression recorder (01).
IMPORTANT Crank engine for approx. 5 seconds in order to eliminate combustion residues in cylinder.

INSPECT Checking     
4 Press compression recorder (01) onto spark plug hole    
5.1 Crank engine with starter. Model 215, 220, 230, 240
IMPORTANT Do not crank engine via electronic ignition switch control unit or start/stop button, because by doing so the fuel can enter into the cylinders and this can cause the measuring result to be distorted.
IMPORTANT To crank engine, press contact switch on compression recorder (01).
IMPORTANT Crank until no further pressure rise is monitored on compression recorder (01).
AR01.10-P-0110V 
5.2 Crank engine with compression recorder (01) Model 216, 221
IMPORTANT Do not crank engine via electronic ignition switch control unit or start/stop button, because by doing so the fuel can enter into the cylinders and this can cause the measuring result to be distorted.
IMPORTANT To crank engine, press contact switch on compression recorder (01).
IMPORTANT Crank until no further pressure rise is monitored on compression recorder (01).
 
6 Carry out test procedure on all cylinders in the same way.    
7 Compare measurements obtained with the specified pressures Compression installation tolerance or new value *BE01.00-P-1001-01D 
    Compression pressure wear limit or limit value *BE01.00-P-1002-01D 
    Compression pressure permissible difference between individual cylinders
IMPORTANT If pressure indicated is less than the minimum compression pressure or if the permissible difference between the individual cylinders is exceeded:
↓
Inspect cylinders for leaks
