POWER INDICATOR:
Green Light: Machine has adequate power

6. PERFORM DECAY / LEAK DOWN TEST
Pressurize the sealed system
Lock out system by turning Flow Control Knob clockwise to the fully closed position
OBSERVE PRESSURE GAUGE FOR DECAY:
Pressure Holds: No leaks, Repair is complete
Pressure Decreases:
Leak(s) exist, Repair Steps above until all repairs are complete
NOTE: Not all systems are designed to be 100% sealed

HOW TO DIAGNOSE INTAKE SYSTEM & VACUUM LEAKS
This procedure will locate leaks in vacuum lines as well as manifolds, EGR valves,
oil seals, gaskets, solenoids, o-rings, ducting, throttle shafts, diaphragms,
canisters, and more
For best results, test in a draft-free area
1. Remove the air filter housing from ducting
2. If the vehicle has a round inlet tube from the air filter, place the Cone Adapter
into the duct toward the engine
3. Put Vapor Supply Hose into Cone Adapter to introduce vapor into the
system
4. Use provided Halogen Inspection Light to locate leaks
ALTERNATIVE METHOD
1. Select an appropriate vacuum line to access the vacuum system
(i.e. a brake booster supply line before the check valve)
2. Seal all system openings
a. Air Intake must be sealed to prevent vapor from leaking back
through the intake
b. To seal the intake, use Cap Plugs, a latex glove, or plastic wrap around the filter
3. Put Vapor Output Hose into Cone Adapter to introduce vapor into the system
4. Use provided Halogen Inspection Light to locate leaks

HOW TO DIAGNOSE EVAP LEAKS
Leaks in the EVAP system, or fuel vapor recovery system, are frequently the
cause for check engine lights. Using a diagnostic leak detector, these leaks can
now be quickly diagnosed and repaired, making them profitable services for
repair facilities
1. To access the EVAP service port, remove the green cap
Remove Schrader valve using the provided Schrader Valve Removal Tool
(Schrader valve has left-handed threads, turn clockwise to remove)
2. Connect the provided EVAP Service Port Adapter to the service port
3. Using a scan tool, close the vent solenoid to close EVAP system from atmosphere
(If vent solenoid does not close, intermittent solenoid may have failed)
4. Input vapor into the system through adapter
5. Remove the fuel cap until dense vapor is seen exiting the filler neck
6. Replace the fuel cap and continue pumping vapor into the system
As the system fills with vapor and the system pressure equalizes, observe the Flow
Meter and Pressure Gauge
When pressure gauge reaches its maximum pressure, Flow Meter will indicate
leak size (Flow Meter will drop to zero if there are no leaks)
7. Using the provided Halogen Inspection Light, inspect under the hood and trace
the route of the EVAP system on the underside of the vehicle for leaks
8. Repair the system as needed
PRESSURE DECAY / LEAK DOWN TEST
9. After all repairs have been made, retest the system using the Decay or Leak
Down testing method with air only
a. Input air into EVAP system until fully pressurized
b. Lock out system by turning the Flow Control Knob to the fully closed position
c. If leaks are repaired properly, system will hold pressure
d. If pressure decays or leaks exist, repeat above procedures until all repairs
are complete

HOW TO DIAGNOSE EXHAUST LEAKS
HOW TO DIAGNOSE UNDER DASHBOARD LEAKS
This test is most effective when exhaust system is cold
Thermal expansion may cause small leaks to seal
1. Insert appropriate Cone Adapter into the end of the tailpipe
If the vehicle has dual exhaust with cross over system, plug the other
tailpipe to seal the system
2. Put Vapor Output Hose into Cone Adapter to introduce vapor into
the system
A hot catalytic converter may consume some of the smoke
All testing is performed with the engine off
!
Many vehicles have a common vacuum line, leading from the engine
compartment through the firewall, under the dashboard
This line supplies vacuum to climate control functions and other vacuum-
operated systems
1. Disconnect the vacuum line under the hood at its source
2. Input vapor into the vacuum line
3. Observe the Flow Meter and Pressure Gauge while changing the climate
controls from heat to vent, to defrost, etc.
4. Change in the Flow Meter or Pressure Gauge reading will indicate which
system is leaking
5. Set the climate control to the leaking system
6. Use provided Halogen Inspection Light to locate under dash leaks
Central locking system leak inspection is performed in the same manner
Activate control solenoids while introducing vapor into the system

MAINTENANCE
CHECK FLUID LEVEL
Remove Fill Plug from Fluid Fill Port with hex key
Pour OEM-Approved Vapor Agent into Fluid Fill Port until fluid level is near
top of the Fluid Fill Port
Replace Fluid Fill Plug
Check fluid level every 75 - 100 tests
CLEAN FLOW METER
Disconnect air aupply and power from the machine
Remove the flow meter’s top plug with a wrench
Invert the machine to remove flow meter ball
Apply isopropyl / rubbing alcohol to a long cotton swab to clean flow meter tube
Use a dry cotton swab to dry flow meter tube
Wipe flow meter ball clean with dry cloth
Do not use alcohol / cleaners on flow meter ball
Reinstall flow meter ball and replace the top plug
DRAIN VAPOR HOSE
Elevate the machine
Allow the entire vapor hose to hang downward
