ADAPTERS
INSTALLATION
Safety Warnings:
• The maximum test pressure a Power INTAKE
™
Adapters may restrain can only be estimated.
• Slippage of a Power INTAKE
™
Adapters is influenced by many factors including debris / residue in the
Intake / Exhaust system, coefficient of friction, internal pressure of the Power INTAKE
™
Adapters, and
the accuracy of inflation instruments.
• Generally, a Power INTAKE
™
Adapters properly inserted into an Intake / Exhaust system may begin
slipping when test pressure exceeds 50% of the internal inflation pressure. Inflation pressure and back
pressure limitations are subject to temperature / humidity change.
• Power INTAKE
™
Adapters should NEVER be inflated over 1.6 times its outside diameter.
• Debris, protrusions and residue in the Intake / Exhaust system could weaken and / or rupture the
bladder of the Power INTAKE
™
Adapters. Bladder failures due to misuse or abuse are not covered by
warranty. Redline Detection shall not be responsible for any incidental or consequential damages.
• Power INTAKE
™
Adapters must be mechanically anchored with the provided chain / cable to a secure
location before use.
• Power INTAKE
™
Adapters slippage under test pressures may cause property damage or injury.
• NEVER use inflation pressure with Power INTAKE
™
Adapters or a test pressure that is greater than the
capacity of the weakest component in the system under test.
• NEVER use Power INTAKE
™
Adapters when its failure could cause injury or catastrophic damage.
• Before use: Refer to Power INTAKE
™
Adapters Installation and Inflation procedures, back pressure
limitations and tether restraint installation instructions.
Installing Power INTAKE
™
Adapters:
1. Install Power INTAKE
™
Adapters fully into intake system ductwork or exhaust tubing. Make sure there
are no obstructions or sharp edges that might puncture bladder when inflated. Power INTAKE
™
Adapters must insert completely inside ducting / tubing.
2. Install safety chain / cable to a secure location.
3. Inflate Power INTAKE
™
Adapters to 30 PSI (2 BAR) maximum. If over inflated, pop off safety valve may
release. If release occurs, reinflate to 30 PSI (2 BAR).
4. Firmly tug on safety chain to insure Power INTAKE
™
Adapters is firmly installed and properly secure.
5. Attach vapor hose for testing.

Removal of Power INTAKE
™
Adapters:
1. Remove vapor hose (or block off adapters) at quick coupler to deflate tested system
2. ONLY AFTER system under test is fully depressurized, release internal pressure of Power INTAKE
™
slowly by depressing Schrader valve
3. Detach safety chain / cable
4. Remove Power INTAKE
™
Adapters from ductwork, making sure not to rub across sharp edges
