Screw a new diaphragm up to the end stop. On MB/ME 50...76,
the support plate must be clamped firmly between diaphragm

tion of dosing pump)
Inspect the system. Clean blocked injection nozzle. Install pulsa-
tion dampers to reduce pressure spikes if pipes are too long.
Check that safety valves are working (see installation example).
