Evaporative Emission System Tester Setup: Assembly

WARNING:
  • Use the nitrogen gas. If other kind of gas is used instead of 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 gas.
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 "OUTPUT PRESSURE CALIBRATION " in this instructions and regulate the pressure on the tester side.
NOTE:
  • Nitrogen gas tank is not attached to this tester. Obtain the nitrogen gas tank from your local supplier of compressed gas. We recommend the tank with 125 cubic feet capacity for the nitrogen gas tank.
  • If the nitrogen gas tank pressure is lower than 100 psi, it is required to ask your local supplier of compressed gas to replenish the nitrogen gas to the tank.
  1. Unpack the tester from its shipping carton.
    NOTE: We recommend that you assemble the tester to the EVAP cart by the assistance of another person.
  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.
    NOTE: Rotate the tester slightly to one side so that the remote cable clears the handlebar.
