(6) If the vacuum build-up is too slow, an assembly pump can be at-

tached to the connection on three-way valve 20.

Turn valve 180° and switch on the assembly pump.

(7) After the operating vacuum of the leak detector has been

reached (pump in leak detector shuts off), turn three-way valve
20 180°, switch off the assembly pump, and remove it.

(8) Turn three-way valve 21 180° and remove the pressure measur-

ing gauge.

(9) Perform a functional check according to Section 7.3.
