Evaporative Emission System Tester Setup: Assembly: Notes

WARNING:
  • Use the nitrogen gas. If other kind of gas is used for the nitrogen gas, the gasoline may ignite and explode.
  • If the proper procedure is not taken to treat the compressed gas, it may result in death or serious injury accidents. For the correct operation procedures and precautions, contact your local supplier of compressed gases.
CAUTION:
  • DO NOT remove the valve cover cap of the nitrogen gas tank until the nitrogen gas tank is securely attached to the EVAP cart.
  • Pressure regulator has been regulated to indicate the correct pressure. Therefore, DO NOT detach the black vinyl cover of the pressure regulator and regulate it by turning the valve. It may cause the malfunction of tester. When you need to regulate the pressure, refer to Evaporative emission system tester output pressure calibration  in this instructions and regulate the pressure on the tester side.
NOTE:
  • Nitrogen gas tank is not attached to this tester. Procure the nitrogen gas tank from your local supplier of compressed gases. We recommend the tank with 125 cubic feet capacity for the nitrogen gas tank.
  • If the nitrogen gas tank pressure indicates lower than 100 psi, it is required to ask your local supplier of compressed gases to replenish the nitrogen gas to the tank.
  1. Unpack the tester from its shipping carton.
    NOTE: We recommend that you enlist the assistance of another person to help assemble the tester to the EVAP cart.
  2. Bring the tester (1) up through the EVAP cart's handlebar, and place it on the two tabs (2) located on the bracket on the EVAP cart.
