15.
Loosen the small top plug located on top of the magnetic drive housing to
bleed any air bubbles located in the magnetic drive system. (If the
consistency reading is very high when you start the test it may be because
there is entrapped air in the mag drive). Then close the plug shut.

Press START TEST
18.
Activate AUTO SHUTDOWN and select desired shutdown value.
Be careful not to over-pressure the cylinder. As the heat
increases during a test so does the pressure. Pressure is not
released automatically and requires that the pressure be
monitored and adjusted by a technician.
