INSTRUCTION

Dramatically reduces cooling system refill time, without mess and without introducing air-locks. No more time consuming cooling system bleeding and no more messy spills to clean up. Simply plug into the workshop air line, attach to the cooling system header tank and create a vacuum.Complete the process byattaching the filler hose and opening the valve allowing your pre-mixed coolant to flow into the system.Supplied with 3 adaptors and carry-case.

AIR SUPPLY

Recommended hook-up is shown below.
WARNING! Ensure that the air supply is clean and does not exceed 9Opsi.Too high an air pressure or unclean air will shorten the life of the filler. due to excessive wear.and may be dangerous,causing and/or personal injury.
3.1.Drain the air tank daily.
3.2.Clean compressor air inlet filter weekly.
3.3. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Check hose for wear and make certain that all connections are secure.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions before use.
4.1. Preparation.
4.1.1. Set vehicle heater control to ‘On’ and/or Hot’.
4.1.2. Drain and flush coolant system.
4.1.3. Inspect all coolant system components and repairl replace any unserviceable items.
4.1.4. Prepare a suitable coolant mix (see vehicle hand book). Mix 10% more than the systemvolume to ensure that the filler hose will always be submerged.
4.1.5. Connect to the air system. as described in Section 3.
4.2. Suction Filling.
4.2.1. Raise the container of coolant level with the fill point.
Using a suitable bush(fig.1) fit into the filler neck of the radiator(or header tank,if fitted). Insert and support the air line so that is not pulled off centre.

NOTE: On somevehicles fitted with an overflow tank, it may be necessary to clamp the overflow hose.
4.2.2. Open the valve(Fig.2) and turn on the air supply..
4.2.3. Allow the vacuum level to reach approximately 20-25inHg (50-60cmHg)and close the valve (Fig.3).
Note: During this procedure the radiator hoses will collapse under the vacuum being generated – this is normal.
4.2.4. Turn off and disconnect the air supply and remove the vacuum pump, check the gauge over the next 3 minutes. If the gauge reading drops there is a system leak which will require locating and rectifyingbefore proceeding further.
4.2.5. Place the filler hose into the container of coolant and connect the other end of the hose into the (Fig.4).Ensure that the end of the hose remains submerged throughout the filling process.
4.2.6. Open the valve fully and coolant will flow into the cooling system.For best results raise the coolantcontainer above the level of the filler neck.
4.2.7. When the gauge reads ‘0’ turn the valve to the off position and remove from the filler neck. If necessary top-up the coolant to the specified level and refit the pressure cap.The system is flled andfree from air locks.
4.2.8. Start the engine and run until normal operating temperature is reached.Allow to cool and top-upcoolant if necessary.
4.2.9. It is advisable to now pressure test the system and to check the operation of the thermostat andcooling fan(s).
4.2.10, When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean and store in a safe,dry, childproof location.
