SAFETY
The procedures in this operation manual are intended to be basic guidelines for users to
practice using this equipment
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your garage equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.
3. Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or if the equipment has been dropped
or damaged – until it has been examined by a qualified service person.
4. Do not let a cord hang over the edge of the table, bench, or counter or come in contact
with hot manifolds or moving fan blades.
5. Let equipment cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around equipment
when storing.
6. To reduce the risk of fire, do not operate equipment in the vicinity of open containers of
flammable liquids (gasoline).
7. Adequate ventilation should be provided when working on operating internal combustion
engines.
8. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from moving parts.
9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use on wet surfaces or expose to rain.
10. Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended
attachments.
11. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are not safety glasses.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

SET UP
1. FILL / ADD VAPOR PRODUCING FLUID
Remove Fluid Fill Dipstick. Pour Vapor Producing Fluid
into Fluid Fill Port until fluid level is near top of the fill
line on the Dipstick. Replace Fluid Fill Dipstick
Do not overfill
First time fill requires approx. 2 oz (60 ml)
Check fluid level every 50-100 tests
Never use dyes, solvents or other contaminants
intake or exhaust systems beca use they may
coat and/or harm critical sensors, catalysts
Fill Fluid to Maximum Fill Line on Dipstick

HOW TO DIAGNOSE INTAKE SYSTEM & VACUUM LEAKS
This procedure will locate leaks in vacuum lines as well as manifolds, EGR valves,
oil seals, gaskets, solenoids, o-rings, ducting, throttle shafts, diaphragms,
canisters, and more.
For best results, test in a draft-free area
1. Remove the air filter housing from ducting
2. If the vehicle has a round inlet tube from the air filter, place the EZINT95
Adaptor
into the duct toward the engine
3. Put Vapor Supply Hose into Adaptor to introduce vapor into the
system
4. Use provided Inspection Light to locate leaks
ALTERNATIVE METHOD
1. Select an appropriate vacuum line to access the vacuum system
(i.e. a brake booster supply line before the check valve)
2. Seal all system openings
a. Air Intake must be sealed to prevent vapor from leaking back through
the intake
b. To seal the intake, use Cap Plugs, a latex glove, or plastic wrap around the
filter
3. Put Vapor Output Hose into Adaptor to introduce vapor into the system
4. Use provided Inspection Light to locate leaks
