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 THE 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 the gauge handholds 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 hose, then disconnecting the quick coupler and adapter assembly.
7. Maintenance – After the 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 adapter 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.

TO TEST FOR LEAKS IN THE ORIGINAL RADIATOR CAP:

1. Choose the correct radiator cap connector (43302-5A or 43302-5B) and correct steel radiator cap (43300-2, 43300-3, or 43300-4) for the correct vehicle being tested from the test kit. Fasten the original radiator cap to the radiator cap connector (43302-5A or 43302-5B) and then fasten the steel radiator cap (43300-2, 43300-3, or 43300-4) from the test kit to the other end of the radiator cap connector (43302-5A or 43302-5B).
2. Remove the hand pump assembly (43300-1) from the test kit and fasten the quick coupler at the end of the hose to the radiator cap (43300-2, 43300-3, or 43300-4) securely. Operate the hand pump until reaching the pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. – DO NOT OVER-PRESSURIZE. Ideal readings should range between 15-20 psi (1.03-1.37 BAR). 
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 original radiator cap connector.
