Components of vacuum-filling device

-1-	Adapter K 65 (Fitted instead of the cap on the coolant expansion tank.)
2	Hose extension FZ 100 (Fitted between K65 and KVB 01.)
3	KVB 01 (Vacuum gauge with two shut-off valves.) > 9696 - Filling device
V1	Shut-off valve VI (Shut-off valve for the filler hose.)
-V2-	Shut-off valve V2 (Shut-off valve for the filler hose - outlet to Venturi nozzle.)
4	Venturi nozzle (A vacuum is produced in this component by means of compressed air. Pressure of between 6 and 10 bar must be present. The higher the pressure, the better the vacuum in the vehicle cooling system.)
5	Filler hose (The cooling system is refilled via this hose.)
6	Return lines (The compressed air and extracted coolant are drawn off via this hose.)

1	Return lines
2	Overflow container (bucket or canister)
3	Compressed air connection
4	Compressed air connection (Pressure of between 6 and 10 bar must be present. The higher the pressure, the better the vacuum in the vehicle cooling system.)
5	Filling canister with coolant (it is best to position the canister higher than the reservoir).
6	Adapter K 65 (Fitted instead of the cap on the coolant expansion tank.). General illustration provided here. Use an intermediate cable/extension (FZ 100).
7	KVB 01 (Vacuum gauge with two shut-off valves V1 and V2)
V1	Shut-off valve V1 (Shutoff valve for the filler hose.)
V2-	Shut-off valve V2 (Shutoff valve for the filler hose - outlet to Venturi nozzle.)
