d) Fit the hose end of the filling pump over the filling
nipple and place the pump in a container [3] filled
with liquid.
e) Fill the motor until the liquid escaping from the
vent valve (B 6523) contains no bubbles. (As the
area in which the vent valve [B6523] is fitted is
not accessible to inspection, a relatively large
amount of liquid should be allowed to escape to
ensure that the motor is completely full.)
f) Pull the filling pump hose off the filling nipple [2]
and screw out the filling nipple.
g) Refit the screw plug [0168] into the filling valve
[B6514] together with its seal ring [4510].

d) Fit the hose end of the filling pump over the filling
nipple [2] and place the pump in a container filled
with liquid [4].
e) Fill the motor until the liquid escaping from the vent
valve (B6523) contains no bubbles. As the area in
which the vent valve [B6523] is fitted is not
accessible to inspection, a relatively large quantity
of liquid should be allowed to escape from it to
ensure that the motor is completely full. If the unit is
fitted with a foot valve [6] it must be removed to
allow the overflow of liquid to be monitored.
f) Pull the filling pump hose off the filling nipple [5]
and screw out the filling nipple.
g) Refit the screw plug [5] into the filling connection
[1] together with its seal ring [3].
When tightening the screw plug
[5] hold the filling connection [1] securely with a
wrench [size 27] so that the pipe or hose fitted
inside the shroud is not twisted.
