3. Select and install proper fitting adapters to disconnect points. Use closest matching adapter and o-ring
to seal any leaks if exact matching adapter cannot be found. In some cases it may be easier to use one
of the open end rubber hose adapters on the disconnected male fitting on the cooler line then to select
the matching adapter.
4. Connect 12 inch adapter hoses to fitting adapters.
5. Connect 10 ft black and red hoses (right side of ATX-3 PLUS BOOST) to the 12 inch adapter hoses.
6. Connect red (positive) clamp on power cable to red (positive) terminal on vehicle battery. Connect the
black (negative) clamp to a ground on vehicle frame. All lights on keypad should illuminate for 1 second
and buzzer should pulse. If not, check connections and make sure REVERSE POLARITY light is not
illuminated.
WARNING: Handle battery connection cable with extreme caution. Batteries generate
explosive gases during normal operation. Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid or other
automotive battery is dangerous. Wear eye protection. Never smoke or allow a spark or
flame in the vicinity of the battery. Do not connect the black power clip to the negative
post of the battery to avoid a spark.
7.
Set the park brake and turn engine on, listen for the buzzer to sound once loudly and for the READY light
on the keypad to stay illuminated. The ATX-3 PLUS BOOST pressure gauge on the control panel will
indicate a positive pressure if the connection to the transmission is correct
.
If buzzer does not sound and light does not illuminate
IMMEDIATELY TURN ENGINE OFF
and switch
the black and red 10 ft hoses and repeat the above.

For most Chrysler and Mitsubishi vehicles the transmission pump will be functioning when the
vehicle is in “Neutral” instead of “Park”. Perform the service in Neutral gear on these vehicles.
8. Press the COOLER MODE button. The light on the button will illuminate.
9. Once the ATX-3 PLUS BOOST is connected properly (READY light stays illuminated) the machine
automatically goes into circulate mode. Check hoses for heat, if circulate is working correctly both hoses
should be warm to the touch.
10. The ATX-3 PLUS BOOST pressure gauge will indicate the transmission operating pressure. Refer to the
manufacturer’s recommended pressure to determine if the transmission system is functioning correctly.
IMPORTANT
Attempt to pull hoses apart to ensure couplers are attached properly.
