Danger!

Risk of injury to skin and eyes resulting from burns caused by overheated vapor or coolant. Risk of poisoning by coolant ingestion

Open the cooling system only at temperatures below 90 °C. Cautiously open the filler cap to release excess pressure. Coolant must not be stored in beverage or drinking water containers. Wear gloves, adequate clothing and safety goggles.

4

Mount leak tightness analyser (3) on tank filler neck (2).

Make sure that analyzer (3) is firmly attached to filler neck (2).

5

Connect an air compression line to input connection (3.1) of analyzer (3).

The air compression line must be equipped with an open/shut control valve.

6

Apply 1.0 bar of pressure to the system, control by means of adjuster (3.3).

Close air input by air compression control valve as soon as test pressure (1.0 bar) is reached.

7

Verify system leak tightness observing pressure readings on analyser pressure gauge (3).

If pressure falls, as indicated by analyzer pressure gauge (3), check engine, water pump, hoses, tubings, connections, radiator, cooling system expansion tank, and heating system for leakages.

8

Release system pressure through discharge valve (3.2) and remove analyzer (3).

Disconnect air compression line from analyzer input connection (3.1).

9

Repair leakages in cooling and heating systems.

Tighten or replace all clamps.

Replace hoses or tubes.

Repair or replace radiator, water pump, expansion tank and eliminate engine leaks.

10

Mount filler cap (1) on expansion tank (2).

Restore coolant level as necessary.
