INSTRUCTIONS FOR:

FAST FILL COOLANT GUN

Model No: VS004.V2

Thank you for purchasing a Sealey Product. Manufactured to a high standard this product will, if used according to these instructions and properly maintained,

give you years of trouble free performance.

VS004.V2 - 1 - 210405

Eliminates the introduction of bubbles and air-locks into the cooling system and dramatically reduces system filling time. No more time-consuming

system bleeding. Reduces fluid waste and messy spills. Automatically conducts system leak test. Two adaptors cover most radiators and header

tanks, including those of commercial vehicles. Simple operation requires workshop air supply and does not require fiddly interchange of vacuum

and fluid hoses - as found on other versions of this tool. Supplied with 1.5mtr of fluid hose.

Recommended hook-up is shown in fig. 1.

3.1. Ensure that the trigger is in the Off position (out) when connecting the air supply.

pWARNING! Ensure that the air supply is clean and does not exceed 100psi. Too high an air pressure or unclean air will shorten the life

of the gun, due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous, causing damage and/or personal injury.

3.2. Drain the air tank daily.

3.3. Clean compressor air inlet filter weekly.

3.4. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 meters). The minimum hose size should be 1/4 I.D.

and fittings must have the same internal bore.

3.5. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear and make certain that all connections are secure.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

VS004.V2 - 1 - 210405

4.1.5. Connect the gun to the air system, as described in Section 3.

4.2. Suction Filling

4.2.1. Raise the container of coolant, level with the fill point. Insert the multi-fit rubber cone (on the gun) into the filler neck of the radiator (or header

tank, if fitted). Support the air line so that the gun is not pulled off centre.

NOTE: On some vehicles fitted with an overflow tank, it may be necessary to clamp the overflow hose. (fig.5)

4.2.2. Place the filler hose into the container of coolant. Ensure that the end of the hose remains submerged throughout the filling process.

4.2.3. Check that the tap on the gun is in the Vac position (fig.6) and then press and lock (by turning slightly) the trigger. (fig.7)

NOTE: Hoses will collapse under the vacuum being generated - this is normal.

4.2.4 Allow the air to evacuate until the needle reads in the green. (fig.7)

WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions before use.

4.1. Preparation

4.1.1. Set vehicle heater control to On and/or Hot. (fig.2)

4.1.2. Drain and flush coolant system. (fig.3)

4.1.3. Inspect all coolant system components and repair/replace any unserviceable items.

4.1.4. Prepare a suitable coolant mix (see vehicle handbook). Mix 10% more than the system volume to ensure that the filler hose will always

be submerged. (fig.4)

4.2.5. When the gauge is reading in the green sector and has stopped rising release the gun trigger (fig.8) and check the gauge over the next

3 minutes (fig.9). If the gauge reading drops there is a system leak which will require locating and rectifying before proceeding further.

4.2.6. Apply a downward force during filling. Turn the tap fully to the Fill - I position (fig.10) and coolant will flow into the cooling system. For best

results raise the coolant container above the level of the filler neck.

4.2.7. When the gauge reads 0 turn the fill tap to the VAC position ( fig.11) and remove the gun from the filler neck. If necessary top up

the coolant to the specified level and refit the pressure cap. The system is filled and free from air locks.

4.2.8. Start the engine and run until normal operating temperature is reached (fig.12). Allow to cool and top up coolant if necessary (fig.13).

4.2.9. It is advisable to now pressure test the system and to check the operation of the thermostat and cooling fan(s).

NOTE: To prevent internal valves of unit from sticking, wash out with water after each use (fig.14).

When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.

p WARNING! Disconnect gun from air supply before changing accessories,

servicing or performing maintenance. Replace or repair damaged parts.

Use genuine parts only. Unapproved parts may be dangerous and will invalidate

the warranty.

Air supply faults may cause loss of power or erratic action. Reduced compressor

output, excessive drain on the air line, moisture or restrictions in air pipes or the use

of hose connections of improper size may reduce air supply.

To prevent internal valves of unit from sticking, wash out with water after each use.
