4.1. Set-uP.
4.1.1. Remove the radiator cap and clean around the radiator tting.
4.1.2. Fit the appropriate vehicle adaptor as follows:
4.1.3. Screw cap fastening.
4.1.4. Select the correct adaptor cap size for the type of vehicle and radiator to be tested. Screw the cap onto the radiator and check that the
rubber gasket is correctly tted.
4.1.5. Connect the pump to the cap by means of the quick-release coupling at the end of the pump hose.
4.2. CHeCKing tHe SyStem.
note: Due to the design of the internal pump seal, a vigorous pumping action is required to activate the seal and
pressurise the system. a light or slow pumping action will prove ineffective. the larger the air space within the cooling
system being tested, the more vigorous the initial pumping should be. By filling the cooling system and therefore reducing
the airspace within, less effort will be needed to pressurise it.
4.2.1. Pump the system until the pressure gauge (g.1) indicates approximately 15 psi.
4.2.2. If gauge pointer remains stationary for one minute it will indicate that the cooling system is in good working order.
4.2.3. If the pointer falls, it indicates that the system has a leak resulting in loss of pressure.
4.2.4. Check the system for water leaks and, if located, repair accordingly.
4.2.5. If there is pressure loss but no external water leakage check condition of the head gasket.
4.2.6. Re-test to ensure the repaired system is in good working order.
note: To release pressure from the pump, press the release valve (fig.1). Ensure the gauge is reading zero to indicate no pressure
before disconnecting.
4.3. using the Bladder
4.4. Prior to testing
4.4.1. Make sure you have read warnings before use.
4.4.2. Remove radiator pressure cap and check condition.
4.4.3. Inspect ller neck for any sharp obtrusions that may damage the bladder and remove if necessary.
4.4.4. Check coolant level and top up if required.
4.4.5. To ensure secure tting and positive sealing it is desirable that two thirds of the bladder (g.2.3) is below the lower ange on the
radiator or header tank neck before being inated.
