ATTENTION
Freewheel bearing in contact with adhesive
Adhesive affecting freewheel bearing
Install the freewheel bearing in the magnet wheel without permitting

Make sure the valves are closed when you connect the compressor to
the distributor unit.

Connect the compressor to the venturi nozzle (No. 17 5 552).

Technical data
Minimum Pressure min 8 bar
requirement,
compressor Delivery rate min 125 l/min

Begin by fully opening coolant cock (1) and then fully opening negative-
pressure cock (2) of distributor unit (No. 17 5 551).
Coolant is drawn in by vacuum from the tank.
Draw in coolant until the hose to distributor unit (No. 17 5 551) is full of
bubble-free coolant.
Close coolant cock (1) and negative-pressure cock (2).
Disconnect the compressor from venturi nozzle (No. 17 5 552).

Connecting radiator filler to cooling system

Requirement
The coolant canister must be higher than the motorcycle's radiator.

Position coolant canister on a (No. 17 5 553) higher level.


Secure the preassembled radiator filler in position at the motorcycle.
Connect radiator port (No. 17 5 554) to distributor unit (No. 17 5 551)
and radiator filler neck.

Connect the compressor to the venturi nozzle (No. 17 5 552).


Open negative-pressure cock (2) of distributor unit (No. 17 5 551).
A vacuum builds up in the system.
Evacuate the cooling system until the requisite vacuum is established
and the needle of the pressure gauge is steady.

Technical data
