SPECIFICATIONS:
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
1. Do not exceed 1000 psi maximum pressure.
2. Wear ANSI approved safety goggles and protective wear during setup and use.
3. Use tester in well ventilated areas.
4. Before using, set transmission in park (for automatic transmission) or neutral (for
manual transmission) and set parking brake.
5. Keep out of reach of children.
6. Install and remove tester only while engine is stopped.
7. Keep work area clean and well lit.
8. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving
engine parts. Protective clothes and nonskid footwear are recommended when
working. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
9. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
10. Maintain test kit with care. Keep clean for better and safer performance. Inspect
hoses periodically, and if damaged, have them repaired by a qualied technician.
11. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate when you
are tired.
12. Check for damaged parts. Before using, any part that appears damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts
or mounting xtures; and any other condition that may aect proper operation. Any
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualied technician.
13. Do not operate if under the inuence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels if
taking prescription medicine to determine if your judgment or reexes are impaired
while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate.
14. Do not start an engine in an enclosed area (like a garage). A running gasoline engine
generates carbon monoxide; carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can
cause serious injury and death, if inhaled.
15. Keep hands away from the moving parts and hot parts of vehicle’s engine.
16. Read and understand all instructions and safety precautions as outlined in the vehicle
manufacturer’s manual for air condition servicing.
This instruction manual is intended for your benefit. Please read and follow the safety, installation, maintenance and troubleshooting
steps described within to ensure your safety and satisfaction. The contents of this instruction manual are based upon the latest
product information available at the time of publication. The manufacturer reserves the right to make product changes at any time
without notice.

1. Check that vehicle battery is fully charged. Set car in neutral or park and set parking brake.
2. Refer to adapter chart for correct engine adapter. Secure assemble as shown in diagram.
3. Start engine and allow to warm up to operating temperature.
4. Once engine is warm, shut o engine and remove fuel shutdown solenoid (refer to
vehicles repair manual for location).
5. Remove all of the glow plugs or injectors depending on adapter being used. Mark
injector wires for ease in reassembly. Label all injectors and glow plugs for reinstallation.
6. Connect compression tester to engine. With accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn
engine over for 8 revolutions.
CAUTION: Continuing to crank engine for a longer period of time may result in damage
to the starter motor or draining the battery.
7. Read and record compression number displayed on gauge. Press air release button
and remove gauge from engine.
8. Repeat for remaining cylinders.
9. Reinstall injectors or glow plugs and reinstall fuel injection solenoid.
10. Clean tester and store in a cool, dry place out of reach of children.
NOTE: A good engine will see a quick jump in initial compression gures on the gauge,
with a slow rise to maximum upon the 8th revolution of the motor. A poor engine will see a
slow rise in compression and be below specications in vehicle repair manual. In general,
all cylinders should be within 10% from best to worst cylinder.
