5.
If desired, attach the Adapter to the Hose Fitting. (See Figure A.)
6.
Connect the Compression Tester to the first cylinder of the engine. With the fuel
pedal depressed all the way down, crank the engine for at least eight revolutions.
(See Figure C.)
7.
While cranking the engine, observe and record the maximum reading on the
Gauge of the Compression Tester. (See Figure C.)
8.
Once the maximum reading has been recorded, discontinue cranking the engine.
Then, release the air pressure in the Gauge by pressing the Air Release Button.
(See Figure C.)
9.
Remove the Compression Tester from the first engine cylinder. Then repeat Steps
#6, #7, #8 for the remaining engine cylinders. (See Figures B and C.)
10.
NOTE: Good engine cylinder compression will be indicated with a high initial
reading, and a progressive buildup to the final maximum reading. Poor engine
cylinder compression will be indicated with a low initial reading, and a much
slower buildup to the final maximum reading. The compression readings for all of
the engine cylinders should not vary by more than 10%. Note: Check your
owner’s or maintenance manual for acceptable pressure ranges.
