  If the vacuum level 

of the ball valve’s vacuum gauge now holds steady and does not drop, 

the indication is that the leak to the vacuum tanks has been repaired.  Once all identified 
leaks have been repaired, proceed to System Confirmation. 

 

If the vacuum level, as shown on the ball valve’s vacuum gauge, starts and continues to 
drop, this indicates that the leak in the vacuum tank connections still exists.  Proceed as 
follows. 

34)   Remove the ball valve from the pump solenoid and reconnect the 

tank hose to the solenoid. 

35)   Remove the hose from the Y-fitting that connects to the pump 

solenoid, leaving the tank lines connected. 

Note:  Use caution when removing a hose from the Y-fitting shown 
in 

FIGURE 16

.  These fittings have only a single barb on each hose 

connection.  Remove the hose carefully so as not to damage the 
single barb of the fitting. 

36)   Using an additional piece of hose, connect 

the end of the ball valve with the vacuum 
gauge to the Y-fitting.  Connect the other end 
of the ball valve to the hose connected to the 
pump solenoid.  See 

FIGURE 17

37)   With the ball valve in the open position 

(handle in line with the valve), switch the 

power on 

(    )

, and activate the vacuum 

generating system by pressing the apply 

(    )

 

push button. 

38)   Close the ball valve (turn handle 

perpendicular to the valve), switch the power to off 

(  

  

)

 and observe the vacuum gauge of the 

ball valve to determine the area of the leak. 

  If the vacuum level, as shown on the ball valve, holds steady and does not drop, the 

indication is that the hose from the pump solenoid leaks.  Replace the hose from the Y-
fitting to the pump solenoid.  Repeating the test shown in 

FIGURE 7 

can be used to confirm 

that the leak is repaired. 

  If the vacuum level, as shown on the ball valve, starts and continues to drop, this indicates 

that the leak is located between the Y-fitting and the tank connections.  Proceed as follows.
