OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Before performing the test on your cooling system, test the pump first by pumping a few times to ensure the pump is working correctly. When testing, DO NOT pump over 20 psi.
• During your inspection and during the test of your cooling system, when pumping the pump handle, always make sure that the force is applied straight into the pump rather than at an angle, or else it may cause the pump to leak. (See Figure 1)

TO TEST FOR LEAKS IN COOLING SYSTEM

1. Refer to the vehicle’s service manual for any specific radiator pressure testing instructions.

2. Loosen the vehicle’s radiator cap slowly to relieve any excess pressure before removing the cap completely. NEVER OPEN THE SYSTEM WHILE HOT , as this may cause personal injury.

3. Select the proper adapter and configuration of the stationary seat accessories. Securely attach the adapter to the filler neck of the radiator or expansion tank.

4. Attach the quick connector of the hand pump onto the adapter.

5. Rapidly pump the hand pump handle using straight force as shown in figure 1 while watching the pressure gauge.
   Pressurize the radiator up to the optimal pressure only – DO NOT OVER PRESSURIZE THE RADIATOR. Ideal readings should range between 15-20 psi (1.03-1.37 BAR) .
   • Needle holds steady – If gauge hand holds at the same pressure number for 2 minutes, there are no serious leaks in the system.
   • Needle drops slowly – Indicates the presence of small leaks or seepage.
   • Needle drops quickly – Indicates serious leakage is ,present.

6. Once the test is complete, release the air pressure by depressing the pressure release valve on the hand pump.
   Then disconnect the quick coupler and adapter assembly.

7. Maintenance – After testing process in Radiator Test:
   • Keep the adapter connected to the pump as you had set up while performing the actual test. Operate the pump several times to dissipate moisture and/or coolant that may have remained in the adaptor and pump.
   • Oil the hand pump in order to lubricate the piston and prevent corrosion and internal damage.

8. Store the radiator pressure tester kit in its carrying case and keep the kit in a clean, dry, safe location out of reach of children and other unauthorized persons.

9. Cooling system pump:

CAUTION: MAX PRESSURE CAN NOT EXCEED 20 psi (1.37 BAR), OTHERWISE IT WILL DAMAGE THE RADIATOR.
