User Manual

Warning
1. Only Authorized operator could use this equipment.
2. Always conrm Fluid level before use, if the level is low enough to the boom of the
port, it will need a re
3. Do NOT use the unit on smoke sensive parts. Eg.Lamp housing.
4. Avoid using the equipment on windy environment.
Safety
1. Do not use the equipment while the engine’s running.
2. Wear Protecon Glass.
3. It is always best to test in a drafree area. Always use a bright halogen lamp to enhance the
visibility of the smoke exigthe leak.
Smoke Oil
The equipment is compable with mineral oil based baby oil like
Johnson&Johnson Pink bole.
Pure #5 white oil is the best choice if available.

Accessories Explanaon
Power Cord
To oer connecon from the unit to the automobile baery, in order to drive the unit.
Smoke Delivery Hose
For introducon of smoke from the unit to Adapter Cone / Universal Intake Bladder or to the
vacuum pipe directly.
Funnel
Assistance method for smoke oil re, to prevent pour oil to the unit surface.
Intake Bladder
To t the intake and exhaust, seal the system and introduce smoke into the system. Especially
while the inlet posion is not rounded-shape.
1. Clean the inner wall of the intake opening while the Air Filter, and the Throttle connections are removed, so as
not to scratch the adapter.
2. Close the Pressure Relief Valve(A) next to the Hand Pump(B).
3. Put the Rubber Component(C) into the intake opening.
4. Inflate the Rubber Component(C) by pressing the Hand Pump(B)
till the intake opening is tightly sealed.
5. Now the system is ready to test, introduce air/smoke into the
system by plug the smoke nozzle into the Tube Opening(D) .
6. After test,pull off the smoke nozzle, release the inflated air by open the Pressure Relief Valve(A) next to the
Hand Pump(B).
7. Clean the adapter for storage, avoid contact with corrosive liquids.
Intake Bladder Replacement Rubber
The rubber on the Intake Bladder may be easily broken, if not operate it properly with cauon.
The rubber could be replaced with new one without replace the whole Intake Bladder.
Adapter Cone
To t the intake and exhaust, seal the system and introduce smoke into the system. It may fall out
at high pressure and need a second hand to push and hold at operaon.
Product Structure
The following list is designed to familiarize you with the funcon of the operaonal components
of the machine.
A - Oil Refill Port
For oil re while its needed. The funnel is a nice helper to prevent oil from poured to the surface
of the unit.
B - Velcro Strap
For collecon of the smoke delivery hose, and power cord before storage.

C - Smoke Outlet Port
While set up the unit, the Smoke Delivery Hose need to be mounted onto the Smoke Outlet .
D - Power Socket
While set up the unit, the power cords need to plug into the power socket.
E,F - State Indica�on and Air Control
The <E - LED Indicaon> LED has two states.
RED: Power ON.
GREEN: Pressurized air producon.
While power up the unit, the LED would turn RED.
Press <F - Air Control switch>, the <E - LED Indicaon> would turn GREEN, and the unit start
to generate pressurized air.
Press <F - Air Control switch> again anyme, the <E - LED Indicaon> would turn RED, and
the unit stops generag pressurized air.
G,H - State Indica�on and Smoke Control
The <G - LED Indicaon> LED has three states.
OFF: Smoke generaon not started.
GREEN: Smoke generaon.
RED: Overheat.
While not smoke the unit, the LED would be OFF.
Press <H - Smoke Control switch>, the <G - LED Indicaon> would turn GREEN, and the unit
start to generate smoke.
Press <H - Smoke Control switch> again anyme, the <G - LED Indicaon> would turn OFF,
and the unit stops generang smoke.
While the smoke generag chamber is overheat, for protecon, the smoke generaon
would be halted and the <G - LED Indicaon> would turn RED and restart generang smoke while
the smoke generag chamber cooled down, or you can switch it OFF by pressing <H - Smoke
Control switch> .
I - System Pressure Gauge
The Pressure Gauge displays the output pressure of the machine if block the smoke outlet port,
otherwise it shows the real me pressure of the system been tes.
Pressure Decay Test: This gauge can also be used to determine if a leak exists by switching othe
<F - Air Control> while the system is under pressure. If the gauge holds the displayed pressure,
there is no leakage. If the displayed pressure starts drops, there is leakage in the system.
J - Flow Meter
The purpose of the ow meter is to provide a quick visual indicaon of the amount of air/smoke
passing through the system being tested. If the smoke nozzle is in a closed system, and there are
no leaks in that system, the ow meter will read zero (ball at boom of scale). As the system is
lled with air or smoke, the ball in the ow meter will slowly fall to the boom of the scale as the
pressure in the system equalizes to the output pressure of the unit. As the ow decreases, the
output pressure will increase. If the ow meter ball never falls to the boom of the scale, there is
leakage or air passing through the system. It is not necessary to use smoke when using the ow
meter to determine if a leak exists.
K - Flow Dial
In many cases excessive smoke exig a leak may make it dit to determine the exact locaon
of the leak. The purpose of the Flow Control Valve is to decrease the amount of smoke exig a
leak so that its posion may be pinpointed without the masking eect of excessive smoke. Turn
clockwise to decrease ow, counterclockwise to increase ow. This valve is also used to lock out
the system under test and observe any pressure decay on the pressure gauge.

L - Oil Level Gauge
While set up the unit, smoke oil need to be into the unit, do not exceed the MAX line.
Check and conm proper oil level periodically. If the oil level is lower than the MIN line,the unit
would need a re
Leak Status Indicaon
No Leak Small Leak Massive Leak
Generic Operaon
1. Turn OFF the ignion of the vehicle.
LEAK TEST OF VEHICLE SYSTEMS REQUIRES THE ENGINE TO BE OFF.
2. Dismantle the air ter and the throle connecons.
3. Clean the inner wall of the intake opening to avoid sharp objects and put the Universal Intake
Adapter into the opening.
4. Connect the Power Cord to 12V vehicle baery.
5. Now the Power LED would be ON, if else check the power supply.
6. Introduce the smoke nozzle into the system via the Adapter Cone.
7. Press Air Control Switch, wait for 30 seconds un the system is pressurized, and check the
Pressure Gauge & Flow Meter reading for leak status, if the unit is equipped with Pressure Gauge
& Flow Meter.
9. Press Smoke Control Switch, .unplug and Plug back the smoke nozzle back into the Cone
Adapter when there’s obvious smoke coming out of the smoke nozzle.
10. The system will be ready for leak check in 2 minutes. Use a bright light torch or working lamp
to assist.
11. Aer test, press Smoke Control Switch again to stop the unit from generag smoke and
press Air Control Switch to stop generag pressurized air.
12. Collect the Smoke Hose and the Power Cord with the Velcro Straps for storage. Hang the unit
or make it stand in UPRIGHT posion only. Do NOT lay it down.
