INSTRUCTIONS

1.
• Install an air fitting into bottom of tool and connect tool to airline.
• Locate the pressure limit for your intended cooling system. Information can often be found
on
radiator cap, next to coolant tank/radiator, and/or in car repair manual.
• Connect universal coupler at end of tool’s hose to most any common cooling system tester
cap or radiator cap adapter.
2.
• Test radiator cap or cooling system by securing your supplied adapter (now connected onto
the tool) to the radiator, coolant overflow tank or radiator cap of your application.
• Turn the red lever to open the ball valve on tool.
• Increase pressure to the system by slowly adjusting the black regulator valve dial, watching
the pressure gauge on tool.
• Adjust the regulator up to the max level shown on the gauge that matches your pressure
system requirements.
DO NOT OVER-PRESSURIZE CAP OR SYSTEM, STOP AT THE
RED LINE ON GAUGE FOR THE MANUFACTURER’S RECCOMENDED LEVEL
• Close the red lever on the ball valve and leave system pressured for a predetermined amount
of time. Check after this time if pressure has dropped, indicating a system leakage.
3.
• If a leak is suspected, open the red lever again and provide sustained pressure to the system.
• With constant pressure on the system, you may now be able to trace the ongoing leak
and
inspect pressurized hoses for damage and excessive wear.
• Before removing cap, depressurize system by pressing and holding the pressure release
button near the end of the hose to vent pressure from system.
4.
• If draining a cooling system from the vehicle’s coolant drain location, this tool can be used with
the ball valve open to provide some moderate pressure to the system - expediting the drain
process.
