INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRESSURE
TESTING COOLING SYSTEM
Test For Leaks In Cooling System
· Step 1: Remove the original radiator cap after assuring that the cooling
system is depressurized and cool.
· Step 2: Choose the correct radiator cap for the vehicle being tested from
the test kit and install on cooling system opening.
· Step 3: Remove the hand pump assembly from the test kit and fasten the
quick coupler at the end of the hose to the radiator cap securely.
Operate the hand pump until reaching the pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer. (See fig. 1 & 2) DO NOT exceed vehicle
manufacturer’s recommended pressure or maximum gauge range
pressure of 35psi (2.5bar).
· Step 4: Check the pressure reading on the gauge immediately after
reaching the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended pressure. If the
pressure reading drops, there is a leak in the cooling system. After
pressure testing is completed, press the release button on the quick
coupler until the reading on the gauge reads 0. Remove quick coupler
from radiator cap and then remove radiator cap from the cooling system
opening. Locate the leak and repair as necessary.
Test For Leaks In Original Radiator Cap
· Step 1: Choose the correct radiator cap connector (02A or 02B) and
correct steel radiator cap (03, 04, or 05) for the correct vehicle being
tested from the test kit. Fasten the original radiator cap to the radiator
cap connector and then fasten the steel radiator cap from the test kit to
the other end of the radiator cap connector.
· Step 2: Remove the hand pump assembly from the test kit and fasten the
quick coupler at the end of the hose to the radiator cap securely. Operate
the hand pump until reaching the pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer. (See fig. 3) Do not exceed vehicle manufacturer’s
recommended pressure or maximum gauge range pressure of 35psi (2.5bar).
· Step 3: Check the pressure reading on the gauge immediately after
reaching the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended pressure. If the pressure
drops, there is a leak in the radiator cap. After pressure testing is
completed, press the release button on the quick coupler until the reading
on the gauge reads 0. Remove quick coupler from radiator cap and then
remove the original radiator cap from the radiator cap connector. Discard
original radiator cap and replace with new cap if leaking or if it does not
meet vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PURGING AND
REFILLING COOLING SYSTEM
Purge Cooling System
· Step 1: Drain coolant from radiator as well as possible.
· Step 2: Remove the purge and refill tool from the test kit and hang the tool
in a convenient location under the hood with the hook provided.
· Step 3: Choose the correct radiator cap for the vehicle being tested, or the
universal rubber radiator adapter from the test kit and install the one of your
choice on the cooling system opening. Fasten the quick coupler at the end
of the hose on the purge and refill tool to the radiator cap securely.
(See fig. 4 & 5)
· Step 4: Turn valve No. 3 to the open position and valve No. 6 to the closed
position. (See fig. 6)
· Step 5: Connect air supply to the purge and refill tool and press operating
button until the pressure reaches 20-25 Hg (50-60cmHg). Turn valve No. 3 to
the closed position and release the operating button. (See fig. 7 & 8)
Refill Cooling System
· Step 1: Connect the coolant hose to the purge and refill tool and submerge
in coolant.
· Step 2: Assure that valve No. 3 is in the closed position and that there is
coolant in the coolant hose.
· Step 3: Turn valve No. 6 to the open position to allow the coolant to refill the
cooling system.
· Step 4: The refill is complete when the gauge reads 0.
Note: Please check the coolant level and add coolant as
necessary to the proper level.
SPECIFICATION- RADIATOR PRESSURE TESTER
WARNING
ALWAYS assure that the cooling system is depressurized and cool prior to removing the cooling system cap
and operating this cooling system pressure test kit. DO NOT operate this cooling system pressure test kit
when cooling system is hot or may result in serious burns. DO NOT pressurize the cooling system exceeding
the pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
