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. Grit or gum deposits in the tool may cut power and may be corrected by
cleaning the air strainer and flushing out the tool with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE 10
oil and kerosene. If outside conditions are in order, disconnect tool from hose, disassemble tool,
replace worn or damaged parts, clean and reassemble, or take tool to your nearest authorised service
dealer.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5. MAINTENANCE
p p
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.
4.1.2. Drain and flush coolant system.
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.
4.1.5. Connect the gun to the air system, as described in Section 3.
4.2. Suction Filling
4.2.1. 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.
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. 2.A) and then press and lock
(by turning slightly) the trigger.
Note: Hoses will collapse under the vacuum being generated - this is normal.
4.2.4. When the gauge is reading in the green sector and has stopped rising release the gun trigger
and check the gauge over the next 2 to 3 minutes. If the gauge reading drops there is a
system leak which will require locating and rectifying.
4.2.5. Prior to filling, prime the filling hose by partially turning the tap towards Fill until coolant is
drawn up the hose to the tap body, at which point turn the tap back to Vac.
fig. 1
fig. 2
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 130psi. 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. Water in the air line will damage the gun.
3.3. Clean compressor air inlet filter weekly.
3.4. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
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.
3. AIR SUPPLY
4.2.6. Press and hold the trigger to remove the air purged from the hose. When the gauge needle
stops, release the trigger.
4.2.7. Turn the tap fully to the Fill position (fig. 2.B) and coolant will flow into the cooling system.
For best results raise the coolant container above the level of the filler neck.
4.2.8. When the gauge reads zero 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.
4.2.9. It is advisable to now pressure test the system and run the engine up to full temperature to
check the operation of the thermostat and cooling fan(s).
4.2.10. When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
