9Keep yourself, tools, and test equipment away from hot engine parts.

8DO NOT use this tool for any purpose other than that for which it is designed.

8Never lay tools on the vehicle’s battery. This may short the terminals together, causing harm to yourself, the tools, or the battery.

9Account for all tools and parts being used and DO NOT leave any in the engine bay.

9Keep children and other unauthorised persons away from the working area.

9Keep test kit parts clean, store parts in the carry case, and keep this in a safe, dry, childproof location.

8DO NOT run engine while pressure testing.

8DO NOT use bladder in radiators or header tanks with internal neck diameters greater than 45mm.

IMPORTANT: Always refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s service instructions, or a proprietary manual to establish the current

procedure and data. These instructions are provided as a guide only.

4. OPERATION

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 inated.

g.1

VS0014 Issue 1 04/04/18

Original Language Version

Note: It may not always be possible to adjust the bladder the desirable position (two thirds of the bladder below lower flange). The

flexible nature of the inflatable bladder will create the required seal in these applications.

4.5. Pressure Testing

WARNING: DO NOT run engine while pressure testing.

Note: If testing is being carried out on a warm engine a pressure drop may occur due to engine cool down, which may not be due

to a leak. Pressurise and inspect again after cool down is complete.

4.5.1. Move slide valve so that brass bleed screw is exposed (g.4.1).

4.5.2. Adjust pressure bleed screw clockwise until rm - DO NOT over tighten (g.4.2).

4.5.3. Press the brass bleed screw until the valve slides across (g.4.3).

4.5.4. Operate hand pump to inate bladder to 15 psi (DO NOT exceed this pressure) (g.4.4).

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.

4.5.5. Move slide valve so brass bleed screw is exposed (g.4.5).

4.5.6. Operate hand pump to pressurise system to manufacturers specied pressure - DO NOT exceed this pressure as system damage

may occur (g.4.6).

• If system pressure is maintained no serious leaks are present.

• A pressure drop indicates a system leak.

• Continued pressure drop, visually inspect for external leaks.

4.6. Removal from System

WARNING: DO NOT deate bladder until gauge read ‘0’ psi. To release pressure from the pump, press the release valve (fig.1).

Ensure the gauge is reading zero to indicate no pressure before disconnecting

4.6.1. Adjust pressure bleed screw anti-clockwise (fig 5.1).

4.6.2. Allow pressure to release via drain hose until gauge reads ‘0’ psi (fig.5.2).

4.6.3. Press on brass bleed screw until valve slides across (fig.5.3).

4.6.4. The bladder is now deflated (fig.5.4).

4.6.5. Release retaining clips and remove (fig.5.5).

5. MAINTENANCE

5.1. The bladder unit is a testing instrument and should be treated accordingly. Keep unit clean by rinsing with water after each use to

prevent internal components sticking.

Note: DO NOT use harsh chemicals or solvents.

5.2. The rubber bladder and safety seal will wear with normal use. Replace bladder or safety seal if any deterioration is noted.

5.3. Bladder Replacement:

5.3.1. Remove centre tube mounting screw from base of centre tube.

5.3.2. Remove centre tube ange.

5.3.3. Remove bladder from stem.

5.3.4. Install new bladder onto stem using a twisting action (use water as a lubricant if required - DO NOT use grease or other lubricants).

5.3.5. Install centre tube ange.

5.3.6. Install centre tube mounting screw with ‘O’- ring and tighten fully. Note: DO NOT over tension.

5.3.7. Inate bladder to three or four times to condition and stretch material.

5.3.8. With bladder inated, immerse in water to test for leaks.
