  6.  Wait for 5 minutes and check the air pressure. If the 

pressure has dropped, there is a leak, do not use the 
packer until the leak is fixed. Leaks in the connections 
may be able to be fixed by tightening connections or 
lubricating seals. If the packer itself is leaking, it can 
be sent for service.

  7.  After the test is complete, depressurize the system 

and disassemble.
