11.  Make sure the Coolant Suction Valve is 

closed, then open the Air Inlet Valve to 
start drawing a vacuum.  The reading 
on the Gauge should start to rise.

Note:

 Radiator and heater hoses may collapse 

which is normal due to the vacuum created.

12.  When the Gauge reading stabilizes, continue 

to draw vacuum for 30 seconds to obtain 
maximum vacuum, typically -24 to -26 inHg 
depending on coolant system size.

13.  Close the Air Inlet Valve and monitor 

Gauge reading for 1-2 minutes:  
a.  If the vacuum drops, the cooling system 

has a leak and is not sealed.  Disconnect 
the tool and make necessary repairs.

b.  If the Gauge reading remains 

stable, disconnect the compressor 
air line from the Air Inlet Plug 
and proceed to next step.

14.  Insert filter end of Coolant Hose into a 

container of premixed coolant, then slowly 
open the Coolant Suction Valve.  The vacuum 
created in the cooling system will pull coolant 
into the system.  Keep container as close 
as possible to the same height as the tool. 

Important:

 Keep Coolant Hose completely 

submerged in the coolant or air will 
be pulled into the cooling system.  If 
additional coolant is needed, close the 
Suction Valve and refill container.

15.  When the Gauge reaches zero, the cooling 

system is full.  Turn the Control Knob 
counterclockwise to loosen the Neck Adapter 
and disconnect the tool from the filler neck.

16.  Check coolant level and top off if necessary.  

Fill expansion tanks to proper level.  

17.  Store the Kit in its Case in a clean, dry, 

safe location out of reach of children.
