Good tips.

When I used my NT530 it froze up during the bleed procedure and ran the pump for a long time, don't remember how long, but long enough that I was concerned. X5 wouldn't fire up after disconnecting the Foxwell. So I cycled the ignition once and then it fired up after a long crank. No problems since then. I'll check and see if my Foxwell is on the latest revision of the software...
