  6. Using special tool 9160/1, generate a vacuum of 100 mbar (0.1 bar).
    NOTE: Do not produce a vacuum of more than 100 mbar, as otherwise the vacuum will cause the shutoff valve to open.

    If no vacuum can be built up, replace the shutoff valve.

    Coat the sealing ring of the new shutoff valve with tyre fitting lubricant prior to installation.

    The shutoff valve can only be installed in one position: with the electrical connection facing upwards.
