Safety Measures
■
When working with hot, pressurized radiators you have to be very careful.
There is a high risk of scalding. Always wear hand and eye protection.
■
Make sure that the radiator / cooling system has cooled down before removing
the lid.
■
In order to avoid burns, do not start the engine before and during the pressure
test.
Radiator pressure test
■
Remove the original radiator cap, the cap of the expansion tank or cooler and
clean the area around the lid.
■
Choose an adequate, supplied adapter cap and install it on the cooling water
tank or the cooler.
■
Connect the hand pump with the quick couplings to the adapter cap and press
it until you have reached a pressure of 0.7 – 1.0 bar.
■
Caution: Avoid a pressure higher than 2.4 bar
■
Check the displayed value on the manometer. If the displayed pressure value
goes down, you have a leakage in the cooling system.
■
If the test results in having found a leak, check the system for where the leak is
located and repair the damage.
■
In case the displayed pressure value drops without fi nding a leak, please check
the head gasket.
■
After having fi nished the repair, check the system again.
