BASIC TECHNIQUES
Hose Sense
Ensure hoses are free from kinks and sharp turns
that could impede the flow of the liquid
through the system.
GETTING STARTED
User / Operator Warning
This machine is designed to test the water
system on heating installations for leaks, using a
pressure system. The installation must only be
tested when fully charged with water, therefore
all air in the system must be removed. Only
qualified persons should use this equipment, as
these instructions only cover setting up and
using the pump. It is the hirers responsibility to
ensure the pressure used is correct for
the installation.
GENERAL SAFETY
Any pressure loss can now be read off the test
pressure gauge.
Where 2 gauges are fitted both must
read the same pressure, if not, stop and contact your
local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
