LOCATION:    11.2 Roadster Soft Top (RST), Roll Bar (RB) (Manual Deployment)   >   33 Hydraulic Test Program - Test - Soft Top Closed


Hydraulic Test Program - Test - Soft Top Closed

CAUTION!
Injury hazard from pinching and crushing, in extreme cases extremities can even be severed when caught in the mechanism.
Do not allow any body parts to be in the general area of the moving components.

Preparation for Test:
1. Review entire 11.2 section, especially 32, prior to performing
any of the following tests on the soft top.

Notes for Hydraulic Test:

The following jobs are the same for all test steps:

A. Connection of test equipment to hydraulic unit (Figure 1).
Torque check valve 129 589 08 63 00 to 5 Nm.

B. Build up and release test pressure (see example).

C. Test hydraulic cylinder only at end position of piston (Observe soft top positions).

D. If hydraulic lines need to be disconnected from the valve blocks during pressure tests, the appropriate soft top position (end position of the hydraulic cylinder) must first be ensured.



Disconnected hydraulic lines should be held in a container (connect a transparent hose such as windshield washer hose).
Hydraulic components that leak should be replaced. During pressure tests, the valve block connections must be plugged with plug 129 589 00 91 01.

If hydraulic components need to be replaced, the disconnected hydraulic lines must be plugged with plug 129 589 00 91 07, while the connections of valve blocks, hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic manifolds must be plugged immediately using plug 129 589 00 91 11 to prevent the possible entry of dirt.

Example: Building up and releasing test pressure.

Soft top

Ignition ON:
Activate power soft top switch (toward lower if the soft top is down, toward raise if the soft top is up) for 5 seconds. Have a second technician disconnect relay (A7/5k1, Figure 1).
Hold power soft top switch for 5 additional seconds. Read and record test pressure.

Release test pressure:
Briefly activate power soft top switch several more times.

Roll bar
Ignition ON:
Activate RB switch (toward lower if the roll bar is lowered, toward raise if it is raised) for 5 seconds. Have a second technician disconnect relay (A7/5k1, Figure 1). Hold roll bar switch for 5 additional seconds. Read and record test pressure.

Release test pressure:
Briefly activate power soft top switch several more times.

CAUTION!
Release established test pressure before beginning the next test step.
