must be applied by the operator.
2. INTRODUCTION
Eliminates the introduction of bubbles and airlocks into the cooling system and dramati-
cally reduces system lling time. No more time-consuming cooling system bleeding and
messy spills to clean up. Automatically conducts system leak test. Simple operation re-
quires a workshop air supply and does not require a ddly interchange of vacuum and
uid hoses. Rell the system by attaching the ller hose and opening the valve allowing
your premixed coolant to ow into the system. The system can be lled manually via
the funnel, which has a built-in shut-o valve that helps prevent airlocks. Supplied with
a 1.25m ller hose, six reservoir adaptors 31, 35, 40, 42, 45mm, a cone adaptor and a
storage case.
3. SPECIFICATION
4. AIR SUPPLY
4.1. Recommended hook-up is shown in g.2. Ensure that
both coolant and vacuum taps are in the ‘o’ position
(fully to the left or right) when connecting the air supply.
Fig.1. Shows both taps in the open position (in-line with
the outlet/inlet pipe).
WARNING! 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 ller due to excessive wear,
and may be dangerous, causing damage and/or personal
injury.
4.1.1. Drain the air tank on the compressor daily.
4.1.2. Clean compressor air inlet lter weekly.

4.1.3. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum hose size should be ¼”
I.D. And ttings must have the same internal bore.
4.1.4. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear and make certain that all connections are secure.
5. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply safety instructions before use.
5.1. PREPARATION.
5.1.1. Set vehicle heater control to ‘On’ and/or ‘Hot’.
5.1.2. Drain and ush the coolant system.
5.1.3. Inspect all coolant system components and repair/replace any unserviceable items.
5.1.4. Prepare a suitable coolant mix (refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual). Mix 10% more than the system’s volume, to ensure
that the ller hose will always be submerged.
5.1.5. Connect the ller to the compressed air system, as described in Section 4.
5.2. SUCTION FILLING.
5.2.1. Raise the container of coolant level with the lling point. Insert the adaptor (using the appropriate rubber adaptor if required) to obtain
a tight t into the ller neck of the radiator (or header tank, if tted). Use the extension pipe if required. Support the air line so that the
ller is not pulled o-centre.
NOTE: On some vehicles tted with an overow tank, it may be necessary to clamp the overow hose.
5.2.2. Place the ller hose into the container of coolant. Ensure that the lter on the end of the hose remains submerged throughout the lling
process.
5.2.3. Check that the coolant tap is in the closed (fully to the right or left) position.
NOTE: During the following procedure the radiator hoses will collapse under the vacuum being generated - this is normal.
5.2.4. Open the vacuum tap (middle position) and allow the air to evacuate until the gauge reads 50-60inHg.
5.2.5. When the gauge is reading 50-60inHg and has stopped moving, close the vacuum tap, by pushing the lever fully to the left or right.
Continue to check the gauge reading over the next 3 minutes. If the gauge reading drops there is a system leak which will require
locating and rectifying before proceeding further.
5.2.6. Apply a downward force during lling. Open the coolant tap fully and coolant will ow into the cooling system. For best results raise the
coolant container above the level of the ller neck.
5.2.7. When the gauge reads 0inHg, turn the coolant tap to the o position and remove the ller from the lling point. If necessary top up the
coolant to the specied level and ret the pressure cap. The system is lled and free from air locks.
5.2.8. Start the vehicle’s engine and run until normal operating temperature is attained. Switch o the engine and allow it to cool. Top-up
coolant if necessary using the funnel.
5.2.9. It is advisable to now pressure test the system and to check the operation of the thermostat and cooling fan(s).
WARNING! Disconnect from the air supply before changing accessories, servicing or performing maintenance. Replace or repair
damaged parts.
NOTE: Use genuine parts only. Non genuine 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.
6. MAINTENANCE
6.1. When not in use, disconnect the air supply from the ller.
6.1.1. Clean the ller with a slightly dampened cloth and store it in a safe, dry, childproof location.
