Final Testing
Ensure the following has been completed:

appropriate orifice installed) for at least 1/2 hour (1 hour preferred).
The WHASP Tank cooling fan is thermostatically controlled, and may
start or stop without warning.
☐
Road test the vehicle for approximately 20 km (14 miles).
☐
Observe the compressor while it is operating to ensure the belts rotate
properly, pulleys rotate smoothly and nothing is rubbing or contacting hot
parts.
☐
Check all components, connections and fasteners once the engine is turned off
and the system has cooled.
☐
Check the coolant level after the engine has been operated.
☐
Check the compressor oil level after the engine has been shut down and the oil
level has had time to stabilize.
Engine speed should not increase unless the vehicle is in “PARK” or
“NEUTRAL”.
